F1 Fanatic

Which is true, but you also tried to say how Bernie works, which is where I think you made an error.

He’s useless. Holden bought him for his number, and since then, he’s underperformed. I wouldn’t be surprised if HRT dropped him for Nick Percat in the near future.

I never said that it was done for the love of the sport. Of course CVC invested in the sport to make a profit. That’s what investing is. But the proposal that got them interested was Bernie’s plans for expanding […]

claiming that Bernie actually cares whether there is a British GP or not, and I believe he doesn’t

I was simply pointing out that when the BRDC refused to upgrade their pits, they lost the race. When they agreed […]

You’d have a lot of unhappy fans if you removed JC.

You don’t really believe that it’s done for the love of the sport right?

It’s all about profit.

But there, not only are you claiming that Bernie actually cares whether there is a British GP or not, and I believe he doesn’t (He didn’t care about the lack of a French GP). And you are also claiming, that there […]

your suggestion of an America vs Australia grudge match could also bring in the punters

Well, by that I mean it should be marketed as a grudge match. The V8 Supercar grid has 28 cars, with a provision for 32 if […]

@aka_robyn – I might be a fan of Vitaly Petrov, but I’m also aware (and accept) that Petrov is not a highly-rated driver. When you look at their results in 2011, it’s bleedingly obvious that Petrov had the upper […]

@lin1876 – VESA (V8 Supercars Australia) have promised that the race at the Circuit of the Americas will have a unique format to them, though they have not said anything more on the subject. The series currently […]

the other bit goes to CVC who only get it because Bernie SOLD them the rights to a majority of his share

And he used that money to expand the sport. How else do you think Formula 1 has averaged one new Grand Prix […]

You do realise that the money the circuit pay to FOM doesn’t go straight to a numbered Swiss bank account under the name “B. Ecclestone” … right?

I hope this is not a case of Bernie simply putting the agreement on the table and saying ‘sign it or don’t’.

When has it ever been? It may appear that way at face value, but a lot goes on behind closed doors – […]

+1

@hohum – I think it’s clear that they have two decent drivers and a good car. Barrichello went from being rather easily on top of Hulkenberg in 2010, to struggling to beat Maldonado, which leads me to believe his […]
