[the phantom pieman]

Ecclestone is a hypocrite.

He ( or is company) get 70% of the revenue from the GPs.

BDRC get the gate money to cover what they stump up. All concession stall money ( food, clothing, "grifts") go to .... Bernie. It's part of the contract.

Whilst the BDRC is a gentlemans club, Bernie has made F1 a money game. Who wins no longer has anything to do with sport .... it all to do with the biggest investors. Just look at all the one rule for you, and one rule for Ferrari / M Schmacher incidents.

Bernie is a toad, and as for Jackie Stewert suggesting that teh tax pay should stump up more money for BE, I would rather see it going on anything but.

By now, I think BE should be being investigated for non competitive practices etc.

The one thing that this will do is assure the death of F1 when the contract needs renewing. The big teams will set up a rival race series, and will base it around the traditional circuits.

And then the Bank of Bernie can continue with it money circus in Bahrain, China and Russia, advertising tobacco.

Did you know Bernie is actually being sued by big Banks, (after the Geman Sport company who bought in , went bust)as even though they are a significant share holder, he does not consult them?
