"I applaud anyone coming into Grand Prix racing and bringing competition," Dennis told the audience at Friday's Sid Watkins Lecture at the Autosport International Show.
"But I really do struggle to understand how the economics of Donington will work. They have had a 25% swing in the dollar and the contract will be a dollar-based contract. It has got a massive investment into infrastructure.
"I don't understand how we are going to get in and out of the place, although I can tell you I will be in a helicopter!"
Hmmm yet the airport says "we're not closing" and Simon Gillett - effectively owner of Donington - says he wants people to come by public transport.
Perhaps there will be a Grand Prix in 2010 at Donington - but on the basis that air access will be extremely restricted which will incur the wrath of Ron Dennis (and surely Bernie Ecclestone too).
With the police and air travellers less than pleased by the tailbacks on the M1 as everyone turns in by car as no event outside of a major conurbation has every been attended in these numbers by public transport I can't see it being allowed to be repeated in 2011!
Donington can't cope with the World Series by Renault - how do they intend to solve the problems by building work alone?
