Bernie Ecclestone will make the final decision on whether Silverstone will be allowed to stage this year’s British Grand Prix on its new Arena Circuit.
The track's managing director Richard Phillips told Autosport that he was hopeful that the new layout could be used, but that F1 commercial rights chief Ecclestone would have the final say.
"It's yet to be decided," said Phillips. "We need approval from three sides. So far two have said yes and one [Ecclestone] says maybe, so we'll work on that.
"Allsport [F1's corporate hospitality company] has said yes. And while the FIA needs to homologate the new track of course, it is happy with the plan in principle.
"Bernie needs us to send him the plans for the changes and a report of the progress so far before he can agree, but I think it should be all right [for 2010].”
