Bernie is a moron, a very rich moron, but still a moron. He is doing his best to kill F-1 in his own self-interest. He couldn't care less about racing.

Well, one fascist pig will recognize another fascist pig, be it Mosley, Hitler, Mussolini or Nero. On a lighter note, Bernie's doing for F1 what Tony George did for open wheel racing in this country.

Fascist pig indeed...

From the London Times interview:

In an outspoken interview with The Times of London, the 78-year-old British billionaire chastised contemporary politicians for their weaknesses and extolled the virtues of strong leadership.

Ecclestone said: "In a lot of ways, terrible to say this I suppose, but apart from the fact that Hitler got taken away and persuaded to do things that I have no idea whether he wanted to do or not, he was in the way that he could command a lot of people, able to get things done.

"In the end he got lost, so he wasn't a very good dictator because either he had all these things and knew what was going on and insisted, or he just went along with it ... so either way he wasn't a dictator." He also criticized democracy, claiming that "it hasn't done a lot of good for many countries — including this one [britain]."

Instead, Ecclestone endorsed the concept of a government based on tyranny.

"Politicians are too worried about elections," he said. "We did a terrible thing when we supported the idea of getting rid of Saddam Hussein. He was the only one who could control that country.

"It was the same [with the Taliban in Afghanistan]. We move into countries and we have no idea of the culture. The Americans probably thought Bosnia was a town in Miami. There are people starving in Africa and we sit back and do nothing but we get involved in things we should leave alone."

Apparently the man is an undereducated idiot who has never heard of Mein Kampf (written by Hitler in the 1920's prior to his rise to power in which he maps out the whole sordid affair to come)... and has never watched popular broadcast news media over the past 20 years...

What does this say about the cocoon that must be contemporary F1?

Whether he is quite as clueless about the state of his own sport as was Tony George about his remains to be seen.

In a more recent response to his own stupid comments, Ecclestone had this to say:

Ecclestone has not yet issued an official statement in response to his comments, but German newspaper Bild quoted him as saying the story had been the result of a 'huge misunderstanding.'

He told the tabloid paper: "I did not put Hitler up as a good example, but I simply pointed out that before his terrible crimes, he had acted successfully against unemployment and the economic crisis."

Oh really,""I did not put Hitler up as a good example..."? At least now he acknowledges that The Fuhrer might have been guilty of some "terrible crimes", and not merely been "taken away" by others and "got lost"... Hmmm... Pretty pathetic, I'd say. And quite likely dangerous, too. At the least this may offer an insight into the sport's capacity for self deception.

Would I be safe in assuming Bernie doesn't go with the Politically Correct movement?

What's F1? Who is Bernie? Who is Max?

Yeah pretty much. I have talked about those two bungholes for the last two weeks about this and i'll just say the same, F1 is dead until those two are gone or the same. :D
