Ecclestone rules out British grand prix at Donington

Ecclestone is said to be in negotiations with Silverstone
Formula one supremo Bernie Ecclestone has ruled out holding the 2010 British grand prix at Donington Park.

The deadline for Donington to organise its financial plans for the construction of the Leicestershire circuit was midday on Monday, however, circuit boss Simon Gillett failed to transfer the money to a bank account that had been allocated by Ecclestone in time.

Shortly after arriving at the new, state-of-the-art Yas Marina circuit, Ecclestone was quotes as saying: 'There's no Donington. They've missed the deadline which we kept extending for them.'

Ecclestone is believed to be in talks with the British grand prix’s traditional home Silverstone, although there is no guarantee of a deal being made.ADNFCR-708-ID-19434255-ADNFCR
