For a sport based on giving sponsors publicity there are far too many anonymous people in what should be high profile positions in F1. I am amazed they managed to find five F1 people to put on the list. Much as I asmire Ron Dennis to the general public like Frank Williams he is pretty anonymous. The same goes for all the team principals including supposed characters like Briatore. The drivers as a rule are anonymous. I could spend an hour giving quotes from Stewart, Lauda, Villeneuve, Graham Hill, Mario Andretti etc. Can anyone give me a single memorable quote from any team principal or leading driver? The only people who could have made the list to my mind are DC, Brundle and a couple of years ago Eddie Jordan. I tend to take these lists with a pich of salt but I think one point needs to be made.

The Beeb coverage is all produced by FOM and only the before and after gossip/ BS is produced by the national broadcaster. The important bit, the racing, is produced, directed and transmitted by a talented group of individuals based in Biggin Hill Kent not the luvvies at Broadcasting House! Not that I'm biased!

The moment he tries bossing Bernie and Max around on the basis of this list, they will show him who is really the most powerful figure in F1... I hope Lewis doesn’t take this list seriously.

Even now, Frank should be in the list and, in my opinion, ahead of Ron.
