Thus part I don't understand 

According to other reports circulating in Singapore, which have not been confirmed, Ong allegedly organized a trip to the Silverstone track in the UK for Iswaran and a team from the transportation ministry in courting them to renew the annual race, which is a mixed benefit, generating debate on whether there is still value in hosting it.

To decide whether to renew  F1 why do they have to make a trip to London ...we have already had F1 here a few years already so why need to London....
