Silverstone boss Stuart Pringle says the Government's decision about saving the British Grand Prix will "take a few weeks" - but he remains optimistic about the outcome.
And in a huge boost to the circuit's chances of hosting a double header this summer, it emerged on Monday that Boris Johnson has intervened to ensure the showpiece can go ahead as planned.
F1 had been hoping to host back-to-back races at Silverstone on July 26 and August 2 in an attempt to salvage a season which has been ravaged by the coronavirus crisis.
But those plans were dealt a huge blow last week when the Government announced that personnel travelling from abroad will be required to isolate for 14 days on arrival from June 8 onwards.
