So , did I hear Bernie say that he would match any money that they could claw back from the teams ?
Did I really hear that ?

Weak moment for Bernie , or shrewd business move ?

We have reports that there are offers for Caterham and Marussia , or would be if things were fixed .
And , everyone is saying , apart from those at the top who just want a bigger pie to accommodate the minnows , that they want a re-distribution of wealth .


In saying that he is maybe to blame , Bernard has just called out the big guys , to receive their part of the blame as well .
The first of the big teams to comply will look as though they are shaming the others into complying with the rethink .

At least , they should all be really thinking about this .
It is inevitable , I think , and the gauntlet is thrown .

The best way to reply , if RB , Merc , and Ferrari have the foresight to see it can't work this way , would be to reply positively , and most importantly , together .
Pigs can , in fact , fly , if you attach enough balloons to them .
Nothing is impossible .

There are a number of ways this could all work out , but it's perhaps never before been so obvious that the whole thing could fold without more of the pie going to those farther down the grid .
