    Because he's nothing to do with F1 anymore?

    Let's face it. Screaming Lord Such had more chance of being elected.

    Just sums Bernie up - a second hand car salesman telling a FIA World Champion he's not allowed on the grid......

    ....yet all the hangers on he loves to allow on the grid.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    Indeed. Depressing, isn't it. Still, Bernie will probably die before Vatanen. At least that's something.

    I have this scary dream that Bernie will be with us forever as a talking head in a jar - Futurama-stylee
    All other opinions are wrong....

    Now you say it, that doesn't seem so fanciful.

    Bernie is the boss. He made f1 into what it is today and many in f1 became extremely wealthy people as a result. If he does not want Vatanen - a man that is hostile to the f1 structure on the grid then thats it. Tough.

    How do you describe Bill Gates then? As a college drop out?

    And Vatanen was only a rally champion anyway.

    Because Bernie is the King and F1 is not motorsport any longer - after al thus scandals.

    But maybe F1 needs a "Vatanen" - the question is how many more scandals people are going to stand with.. however in my mind we are pretty close a limit..
