They grow old and are no longer brilliant. Yet they don't realize it and still think that whatever they come up with is still brilliant.

Don't make me laugh, what about the North American fans who he f#@*%$ over by getting rid of Indy and Montreal. EVERYTHING Bernie does is to serve Bernie. Sounds to me like its time to get him his robe and fuzzy slippers and let him sit on the porch and blabber about how great he was in his youth. Rot in HELL Bernie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So far he's failed and long may he continue to do so. If they want to prove the "winner takes all" concept works then let them try it with a back-room lesser formula before experimenting with the shop window display.

I would rather see someone "pootle" around in second than "retire" from a race for which he will get nothing towards the championship.

This must mean that Bernie and Max are still working hand in glove to stay in control. They don't want FOTA to get a foothold anywhere. So they will be in big big trouble if there are similar disputes and dodgy decisions by the FIA during the races as last year, as I think FOTA will put its foot down. Bernie isn't listening to the teams, or the fans. Max isn't listening to the teams or the fans either. Use this year to show your support for your team and your local circuit. Keep the racing real and out of the hands of idiots! An interesting note on this – Max and FIA were more willing to compromise with Bernie and FOM than Luca and FOTA.

Why Bernie, why? what's wrong with having 26 cars on the track at once? Are your Tilkedromes still not long and wide enough? If you have 26 competitors... let 26 competitors race, fer' crying out loud! I do despair.

Now he seems to be someone who has lost favor. Everyone one seems to want him and Max out. OK I get that, Now WHO replaces them. I have heard some one the Teams to run the sport. Look at CART/CCW to see how that worked out. So who would be good replacements? From what I get, the man helped put F1 on new levels over his time. Now he seems to be someone who has lost favor.
