LONDON (Reuters) - Hockenheim is ready to step in if British quarantine restrictions prevent Silverstone from hosting a Formula One race during the COVID-19 pandemic, the German circuit's boss said on Wednesday.
"We are talking with F1, that’s correct. We have spoken about the idea of having a race without spectators here at the circuit," he said.
Silverstone, which this year marks the 70th anniversary of hosting the first world championship race, has been earmarked for two closed-door races following two in Austria in July. "What is really crucial for us is not to be pending now for months. We have to get our circuit booked and there is a high demand on track days... but Formula One is aware and understands our situation," he said.The circuit would need several weeks to organise track marshals, security and emergency services, Teske said, but could move fast on the technical side.
