Ross Brawn says Formula 1 is still pushing for a London GP

Formula 1's director of motorsports Ross Brawn has confirmed that Liberty Media is still pushing for a race in the UK's capital city, although it wouldn't be a city centre event.

The idea of a London Grand Prix is often floated and was the dream of former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone, but the disruption it would cause and the planning needed has meant it's been a non-starter ever since it was first dreamt up.

Liberty's desire to host a race in London peaked last year when it held an F1 Live demo on the streets of the capital and since then it has been exploring possible venues.

Although talk of a race has gone quiet, Brawn confirmed to the Evening Standard that the idea is still being "explored" and that locations on the outskirts of London were under consideration.

"I think because F1 is a week-long activity minimum, the disruption it would cause in the centre of London would be unacceptable," he said.

"I don't think Londoners really need to worry about us taking over the centre of London for a week.

"But there are things on the periphery that are being explored – not slap-bang in the centre of London but Greater London."

Although Silverstone has yet to agree a new deal to continue hosting the British GP, its future wouldn't be threatened by a London GP according to Brawn, who said there was room on the calendar for both.

"London is an iconic city with a massive history in the sport and there’s huge enthusiasm here," he continued.

"We’d like to see London complement Silverstone, not replace it. We could see ways we could make it work both sides."
