Re: Mr Ecclestone has never experienced happiness.
If my arguments don't make any sense to you, I suggest you keep running after the money rather than enter into debate with me. I too can be willingly guilty of a closed mind, see.

Re: Any 'clean', great drivers?

Re: Bernie says Toto Shocked at merely being reprimanded
I do apologise for the sarcasm, it was uncalled for.
My views on 'Spygate'?
It could've been handled diplomatically but RD went for gold, threw in the 'Nazi bitches' head line grabber and overplayed his hand.
That's when Bernie sided with max.

Bread and games, my friend, it's as old as the Romans.

Not always, Marie Antoinette didn't quite get away with 'Let them eat cake' when the people complained about not having bread to eat, but the mentality remains: fukk you, I've for the power.

So making the sport huge, turning it into a business, is suddenly a good thing?
Makes me wonder why there are so many 'nostalgic' threads, bemoaning the lack of sportsmanship.
You cannot have both.
Edit: and fwiw, I don't dislike Bernie, it's merely an assessment.
