Yesterday's British Grand Prix for Moto GP took place at Silverstone - with Enea Bastianini winning at the Northamptonshire Circuit.

Four days of racing's come to an end on Sunday 4th August, with the Moto GP now leaving Britain for its next race.

The riders are headed to Austria for the next Grand Prix - after a spectacular weekend of racing at Silverstone.

We spoke to fans at the Northamptonshire Circuit about what they thought now it's announced the race will take place in May next year.

Lee Bennett from Northamptonshire is a big fan and attended the Formula 1 last month:

"I think the die hard fans will always come and watch no matter what, especially someone like me who is nearby."

James from Christchurch was camping at the circuit for the first time. He thinks a May date could mean more people attend:

"It might actually bring more people along, as August is a time when more people are away on holiday."
