Bernie: We won't be going to Australia for too much longer Yeah, but it's not like there isn't enough advertising around the track and all over the cars themselves. You won't lose all that exposure simply by skipping through the commercials...

Bernie: We won't be going to Australia for too much longer You gotta be kidding me? Force Australia to run it over night so the viewers in Europe can watch it? Anyone heard of PVRs or SKY+, maybe even a VCR? I would've thought being part of F1 was Bernie would've known about such latest technology... He may be the "iron man" of F1, but this is just petty arrogance and I for one wish he'd just shut up. If F1 is supposed to be a world class sport, let's keep the world involved, not impose petty restrictions on them because they don't live in mainland Europe. Perhaps the ultimate goal is to host every race in Ecclestone's backyard - that way we can call it weekend at Bernies.
