The measures will be introduced from June 8 to help curb the spread of coronavirus, but will reviewed every three weeks meaning an agreement could still be found in time for the Grands Prix to go ahead in July.
LONDON - Formula One's hopes of hosting two races at Silverstone were dealt a blow on Friday as elite sport was not handed any exemption to the UK government's plans to introduce a 14-day quarantine period for those entering the country.
However, Silverstone managing director Stuart Pringle is hopeful that an agreement can be reached that allows both races to go ahead. "So I remain optimistic that a sensible and pragmatic solution, which puts the onus on the sport quite rightly to come up with the right solution, can be found.""This isn't just 90 minutes of an exciting sporting race. This is about getting an industry back to work," added Pringle."The racing is at the very top of the pinnacle. Formula 1 is absolutely the top of the motorsport tree, it's the bit that we see and it's the most visible bit.
The quarantine restrictions could also have a major impact on the participation of British sides in European football competition.
