  1. Shame they couldn't get rid of his stench completely isn't it, but I suppose its a start.
     
  2. Be interesting where it goes from here.
    Step in right direction, but pretty much make or break I would say.
    I'll miss his happy smiling face though...... he was so full of fun, charming and and an all round top bloke :kissingsmiling:

  8. Formula 1 has been largely run (and hugely grown) by Brits for the past 40 years. Now it is to be run by an American, and a Fox/Murdoch acolyte at that. And you think this is good news, do you?

  10. Depends on the acumen and ability of the individual. Being American does not make him immediately bad,per se. Perhaps he should be judged in that ability as evidenced in due course as opposed to the Stars and Stripes on his underpants.

    Good news as compared to BE -yes.

  13. I doubt I would be crying given the lump sum he's been paid to sell out.

    My only worry now is that they "Americanise" F1
     
  14. What, you mean pit stops every ten minutes for "commercial breaks"?
     
  15. One good thing Ross Brawn is back in F1 top guy hopefully F1will get back to being the pinnacle of car design and performance instead of glorified milk floats
     
  16. Knowing Bernie he will have taken all image.jpeg REGISTERED TRADE MARK
    Trading rights, logos etc with him, perhaps he will do a "U" turn and now allow his daughter to use them, you can't take it with you old fellow.
     
  17. Don't forget the cheerleaders at every quarter. I wonder when we will get an oval track?
     
  18. yes ,, looking good ,, OMG :Banghead:
