Developer to buy Silverstone
It was reported on Wednesday morning that property company Spectre, run by Olivier Speight, wants to buy the famous track and develop the surrounding lands.
Hill, though, said the BRDC also intends to "develop the circuit to have a grand prix", but admitted that it is also up to other BRDC members to assess if the proposal "is in any way worth pursuing".
He added: "We are not planning to sell Silverstone."
The circuit, a former World War II airfield, has a contract to host the British grand prix until 2009.
