Are you kidding me? Wtf is wrong with this guy? Last two world champions are from UK and he says F1 doesn't need a GP in Britain. We got rid of Mosley, now if only we could get rid of this guy too...

Mr. Ecclestone: I understand your position. You're a shrewd businessman who won't engage in any dealings that don't earn a profit for F1. I feel your pain. In your honor I have formulated a sure-fire 2 step plan that you can undertake in order to ensure a sound financial portfolio for F1 from this day onwards until the end of time. You must simply follow the steps below in the given sequence: 1) You will write your will. In it you will state that your successors will charge $1000 per person for the privilege of pissing on your gravesite which will be located deep in the heart of England. All proceeds from this endeavor will go directly to F1. You will write this will today. 2) Order up a tall frosty glass of Guyana Kool-Aid from from everybody's favorite bartender, Jim Jones, and chug it down like you mean business dammit!

this is how bernie does business... if he admits britain needs a GP then they ask for concessions. he's playing. the issue is that with all the 'cost cutting' he talks of, he keeps lifting the hosting fees... if host fees rise, ticket costs rise... we all pay more (and stay at home watcing tv, giving ratings that line his pockets with tv royalties anyway)
