They should be running tennis," he said. <br><p>"When people want to build new tracks, they want to look at Silverstone. We don't want it built like that. It's quite embarrassing." <br><p>Ecclestone did give some hope for Silverstone to return further down the line, provided the circuit can implement the necessary improvements. <br><p>"We've said we'd run for two years with the circuit as it is, without those improvements," said Ecclestone. <br><p>"We've even said we'll give them an option for 2007 so they can have two years off, get everything done properly, deals done properly and we'll come back in 2007." </p></font></td></tr></tbody></table> | | --- | --- |
