Silverstone is currently set to host the British Grand Prix until 2026, but a break clause in the contract which would see the deal end in 2019 can be activated before the July event this year. But the president of the BRDC, who own the track, Derek Warwick has revealed that he is optimistic about the future of F1 after discussions with the sport's chief executive Bernie Ecclestone, new owners Liberty and even the government. "There was the possibility of activating the break clause before the grand prix this year, for 2019," Warwick told F1 fans at Autosport International in Birmingham.
