Ecclestone should retire now!by warrboat49 (U13716598) 17 December 2008  Bernie Ecclestone has made several poor calls in his career. The choice of Indianapolis as a Formula 1 track stands out as a major flamer and his recent obsession with night racing isn't much better. As the de facto head of F1 however, we do expect some knowledge of the sport, so when he appears on TV and tells us that the reason there is a dearth of overtaking in F1 has nothing to do with the tracks or the cars, he is displaying a level of palpable ignorance that is simply unacceptable for a man in his position. Any real F1 fan knows that tracks like Monaco, Hungaroring and Singapore offer very little opportunity for overtaking, and modern F1 cars, unlike those of Jim Clark's era, are ground effects cars whose stability are grossly impaired when they follow a competitor too closely. The last two seasons have been fabulously exciting and the points system should be left alone."If it aint broke, don't fix it!" Time for Bernie to go - he has lost it!

And putting it in perspective at least the F1 fans arent dying of Cholera.

theleicesterlad (U5737260) posted Dec 22, 2008 Bernie and Max have done alot for F1 over the years and got very rich in the process. But gradually they are both loosing the plot. They constantly talk about money in the sport and cutting costs but they still continue to take the same out themselves. China have recently pulled out of F1 due to the amount they have to pay to stage a race, Canada has been scrapped in favour of another race in Aisa (no doubt because they can afford to pay more to stage the race).

globalclaptrap (U9890570) posted Jan 2, 2009 Mosley was a lousy driver and also an arrogant and lousy administrator. Bernie is mad about money and little else matters. Time for them both to fade away like two rusty old bangers. Mad Max should go now IMHO. Bernie should listen to the Teams during his last year so that he won't be laughed at when he is booted out. Night racing? How long will that last? Proper Team F-1 with Teams deciding driver positions if they need to. Medal positions? Absolute rubbish! Stewards decisions made public. F-1 at Silverstone.
