Cryogenic freezing until everybody forgets about it?

I guess he's in it, neck deep. Let's see if he really is made of Teflon.

Hopefully the beginning of the end. As much as Bernie would love to push the concept, no-one's indispensible.

 

[FB]

He'll find a way out. Perhaps move to Venezuela and move in with Hugo Chavez, no one will be able to touch him then.

 

[The Pits]

He could join pastor at Williams!

FB - I'm sure the bunker has high security doors and specially trained legal deflection minions.

 

[Mezzer]

FB I think it would be cheaper than that, fortunately he only needs low security doors.

In other news, Ecclestone offers to fund a London GP.

A cynic would say the timing was odd...

 

[Chad Stewarthill]

I'd have thought a cynic would say the timing's perfect!

 

[Mezzer]

Maybe its because he's suddenly got 44M (less legal costs) back

 

[Speshal]

What now for Ecclestone?

Well, you probably won't see him at the German GP for a while.

I don't suppose anyone's bothered considering that Daimler-Benz ("Mercedes" to you and me) have statutes that "...do not tolerate the immoral or corrupt practices of its employees or its business partners".

Bernie is a business partner.

Bernie has admiited paying bribes "corruption" in court under oath.

Mercedes must therefore withdraw from F1 to avoid falling foul of their own by-laws.

... leaving two other teams running around Fred Flintstone style
