Right dufus like the teams aren't going to put out regular tweets whether or not BE vomits out these retarded comments.
Wander back up your butthole.

There's a shell game going on up yours and you haven't even noticed .

I thought English was meant to be the forum's first language?

Some of you guys sure are obsessed with buttholes.

Just sayin'......

Which reminds me of Niki Lauda. He had skin grafts on his face, and the tissue was taken from his buttocks. When asked why he did not get cosmetic surgery to fix his face, Lauda replied "You can't be too proud when you wear you ass on your face."

Soon to be seen on the F1 grid:

Without a cost cap, I believe the sport is increasingly doomed. Sadly, a cost cap would be completely unworkable and unenforceable. The truth is that no-one, least of all the set-in-his-ways Ecclestone and the non-motorsport people who own F1, knows how best to respond.

Well, could be true. But then... it looks like F1 is doomed anyway! Since no scenario works. And somewhere we were discussing the world is going green and young people lose interest in cars and subsequently racing.

Never mind, if F1 is doomed anyway, at least it has a choice of choosing the way how to do it. I prefer a big bang rather than a slow painful death.

Thinking about it, I would not be against Christian Horner being the "next Bernie".

He is pretty young, energetic, successful, also former racing driver, and political enough to the extent that many people dislike him. Perfect qualifications for the job!

In contrast I can't see the likes of Ross Brawn, Lauda, and whoever else has been proposed, being interested in being an F1 Leader. And perhaps it doesn't fit their personality/character very well either. Brawn is more into technical side of things, even if he has been a very good team principal.

Flavio - no, thanks. He is a proven criminal. And secondly the next Bernie needs to be more youthful with new energy and new ideas. Horner fits the bill well, Flavio is part of the old guard, who is now about to exit the stage anyway.

This is a business first and a sport second. Therefore, it won't be a former racer or race team owner. It'll be some lawyer most of us has never heard of before.

It's the only way we can be united in our hatred.

LONDON, England - A source has reinforced reports that Bernie Ecclestone could be "reined in" by a new Formula 1 chairman.

The Financial Times reported that F1 CEO Ecclestone's long reign is under threat by former Diageo, an alcoholic drinks company, chief Paul Walsh, who is being lined-up to take over from current chairman Peter Brabeck.

A source close to Walsh told Management Today: "Paul has been courted for nine months now."

THREAT TO ECCLESTONE?

The Times had claimed CVC chief Donald Mackenzie was behind the impending change because he wanted "a more professional approach" to running F1.
The source close to Walsh confirmed: "Paul would want to rein in (Ecclestone) to some extent from a good governance point of view" and would get "short-tempered" if the 84-year-old didn't change his ways "within a few months".

I've always considered Bernie an ass-clown (not that he hasn't done some very good things for F1, and that he is a very shrewd businessman Baggie) He says way too much dumb $h!+ publicly for effect, that I personally believe a sport with the stature of F1 does not need. I know ya' 'awl boys from the UK are into your tabloid bs and tbh it has become more and more, to my disgust in vogue in the good ol' U.S.A.

For instance; you would never hear the commissioner of major league baseball say publicly something like:
Yeah the pub MLB got from Roberto Clemente dying is actually good.
In 2009 Ass-clown did say:

"the publicity generated by his death was so much...It was good for F1."

Senna!
