"The British Grand Prix is an important race in the calendar," confirmed Carey. "Although we want to stage new races in “destination” cities such as London, New York, Miami and Los Angeles, we recognise the European foundations of the sport and want to continue that tradition.
"With Silverstone, we want to help them promote the race. When there is an NFL game in London, the shops in Regent Street are full of it.
"We want to do that sort of thing with the British Grand Prix and also make the event broader, with the race at the centre of a full weekend show."
