Bernie calls Stewart senile

[ioan]

It seems that people who were tearing max appart for calling Stewart "half wit" missed this, so I thought I'll get their reaction to this one too : :

Q. What was your reaction to recent comments by Jackie Stewart about your running of the sport - taking too much money out, that the teams were not making enough, criticising the cancellation of the races in North America...

BE: Most times when people get older, they become a bit senile. He has just caught it a bit earlier, this is all.

It's funny, not malicious.

Q. Who is the most interesting young driver?

BE: Vettel.

Q. Why?

BE: Because he is interesting.

I guess we should ask Jackie if he finds it funny too (not the bit about Vettel, that one was really funny).

It's funny, not malicious.

“He goes round dressed up as a 1930s music hall man. He's a certified halfwit.”

Well, I found Mosley's remark about Stewart funny, but some people with an axe to grind made a big deal out of it, claiming it was malicious because of Stewarts dyslexia, something Max never mentioned.

Now, the thing is, senile people can't spell either, so by rights those who were horrified by Max's remark should be horrified by Bernie's.

That nobody yet is speaks volumes of their in-bred and unfair criticism of Mosley.

Once again, the silence reveals the hypocrites.

Is the difference here , that Jackie will admit to being dyslexic ?

I think the difference is that Bernie was joking. The interview is humorous and typical of his exchanges with the media.

IMHO that is entirely different to Max's open annoyance at Stewart's criticism of the way the FIA handled spygate. Mosley's response was like that of a name-calling bully; fairly typical of someone who will not tolerate views different to his own.

Or it could just reveal that they either haven't posted yet on this thread.

And who made a big fuss about another dissenting voice, Martin Brundle, before very quietly dropping the case.
