Formula 1 London Grand Prix - pie in the sky or is it really gonna happen?

For almost the last 10 years on and off, there been reports and rumours that London could have its own grand prix inside the Capital City. But, every time its just pie in the sky thinking. But, last week Mclaren's sponsor Santander and Bernie Ecclestone have launched a bid to add a London street circuit to the Formula 1 calendar. The idea is a 3.2mile floodlit track around Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, The Ritz, The London Eye and Trafalgar Square passing these London landmarks at speeds around 180 miles per an hour. Even Santander promoted a 3D video with Hamilton and Button taking about the track below and how cool going to be.





Even a rumour that Bernie Ecclestone could put up £35m of his own money to pay for promoting the grand prix itself. But personally, until I see it for real, its still pie in the sky thinking to be frank.

Even another rumour two weeks back, that a second Grand Prix held in London at the Olympic Stadium in Stratford, East London. The track would run around the Olympic Park and into the stadium with speeds of 200mph around the Olympic Park, I think this is more pie in the sky thinking and pigs might fly theory on-top.

With these two race tracks they will not happen in my opinion, just concepts. Any British Grand Prix this weekend. End of post for now. New post soon. That is all. Bye.
