    a sheila to run the f1 show ?

    An Australian woman is shaping up as a possible successor to Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone
    http://www.foxsports.com.au/motor-sp...-1226014747305

    Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has given his biggest hint yet that he may move aside - and it could be an Australian woman who fills his shoes.

    Ecclestone suggested on Monday that a woman will take control of Formula One "probably in three-five years".

    While he’s always said he would never retire, at 81, Ecclestone must be thinking of slowing down. His comments in the interview suggest that a successor is already being groomed.

    SPEED has listed world motorsport’s most powerful women, both from the Federation Internationale de L’Automobile (FIA), and from within Ecclestone's own Formula One Holdings entity in an attempt to determine who might lead Formula One in a post-Bernie era.

    Probably not. But he generated a headline, so job done.

    there have been several people rumoured to be Bernie's replacement in the last few years, including the bloke who runs the 02 I believe.

    And ofcourse, none of us know what or who bernie has up his sleeve...
    Congratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.

    Bernie once stated, "You know I've got one of those wonderful ideas ... women should be dressed in white like all the other domestic appliances."

    Indeed, I myself wondered if there might pop out a dick if she/he took off her/his pants. Wouldnt surprise me at all.

    I honestly don't care what anyone running F1 looks like or what gender they are, so long as they do their job better than anyone else.
