Michael Schumacher, speaking ahead of Sunday's British
Grand Prix at Silverstone, said he would love to see
an event put together in London following a demonstration
for fans on Tuesday. The Ferrari driver played down
fears that safety and cost issues would stand in the
way of a London Grand Prix and called on organisers
to turn the dreams into reality.

Michael
said "It sounds a very interesting and enthusiastic
project, I've been in London the last few days and
have a lot of reaction from people living there who
were all enthusiastic for the race."
|
"It
sounds impractical in a way, but everything is possible.
Why not? If you can guarantee the safety which is
critical and come up with a good solution it would
be great to have a race in London. The atmosphere
is good - it would be like another Monte Carlo but
more safe." |
"I
think in many ways you would have more scope to produce
a good street circuit than you have in Monaco and
if you can do it in Monaco every year, then there's
absolutely no reason why you can't do it in London,
It would just be a question of getting everyone to
agree. I guess in Monaco it's just the Prince says
this will happen. But in terms of having the space,
you can imagine something round about Hyde Park, that
would be the pit area and you could have a very wide
street circuit which would create overtaking which
would be fantastic. " |
"But
it just might be a dream, but nonetheless if they
can actually get the cars out there doing a demo then
why not?" |
