Ecclestone has vowed never to retire.
http://www.themotorreport.com.au/504...ct-in-valencia
"I cannot stop," the sport's British chief executive told the German Sunday newspaper Bild am Sonntag.
"For me, to retire means to die. If I were to wake up in the morning and have no more problems or nothing more to worry about, then it will be no longer worth waking up," the former team owner, who rose to power with Max Mosley by his side in the late 70s, added.

If he will not retire, then he needs to be removed... with force.
Oh, by the way in a totally unrelated story, I'm setting up a charity called "Sniper Shots for Motorsport Supremos", in which we'll pay for snipers to target certain people.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

I doubt even death could stop him. A good taxidermist and a tape player to create a Bernie-bot - if you will - and we'll never know the difference.
All we need now is ten phrases to program into the Bernie-bot to give sound bites to the press or delegations. I nominate;
"Gimmie more money"
And/or
"If you want to build a world class GP facility, don't go to Silverstone to see how its done."
Anyone else?All other opinions are wrong....

Can someone please arrange for Bernie to meet another aggressive Pomeranian that will bite his nose again. Thanks.

Well thats a lie, Bernis is clearly siging up all grand prix deals on long term contracts setting the future of F1 for some years to come, they are all getting long contracts, if all the slots are full what can he do?
Mystery strikes again!

What was the popular saying from a few years ago? You can hate the game, but don't hate the playa!
F1 is SO much better off with Mosley gone (IMO). But I fear that we may end up missing lil Bernie once he dies... since he's not going to fade away on his own. I'm really surprised that the major investors haven't insisted upon a succession plan though. Even ol' Rupert Murdoch has been forced to do that."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith
