Brit GP crisis set to ease

(GMM) The crisis at British grand prix-promoting club 'BRDC' is likely to begin to ease on Friday.

Reports suggest that a scheduled vote of no confidence at the Silverstone meeting will not succeed, while Damon Hill is tipped to take over the presidency from fellow champion Sir Jackie Stewart; a controversial figure.

'BBC' said the raging opposition that led to the call for the board to be removed 'has run out of steam in recent days'. The argument was about how best to go about securing the long term future of the historic formula one race.
