"People want to build new circuits around the world and they say: 'We'll come to Silverstone and have a look how it's done', and I tell them to stay away"

About this Quote
Bernie Ecclestone is cautioning individuals to stay away from Silverstone when they are seeking to build brand-new circuits worldwide. He is suggesting that Silverstone is not the best example of how to build a circuit, and that individuals must look elsewhere for assistance. This could be since Silverstone is an old circuit, and the innovation and style of circuits has actually altered substantially given that it was constructed. He may also be suggesting that Silverstone is not the most effective or cost-efficient way to construct a circuit, and that people should seek to other circuits for inspiration. Bernie Ecclestone is likely attempting to secure Silverstone from being copied, and to guarantee that people are wanting to construct circuits that are up to date and efficient.
