Bernie gone

[maverick]

Bernie Ecclestone has stepped down !

 

[Needamaser]

From thread title I thought you meant he had fallen off his perch!!!

 

[Wack61]

I was wondering , stepped down or stepped off

 

[Team GCR]

Thank God! Hopefully F1 can now be brought into the 21st century and properly exploit social media etc. Also Liberty have said they want to preserve the heritage tracks such as Silverstone, Monza etc.,.. and have fairer distribution of the money to the teams. Interesting times ahead

 

[Jkulin]

Brilliant News, long overdue with his bullying!

 

[MrMickS]

This is really good news. I'm counting on Liberty to call Ferrari's bluff regarding pulling out if they don't get the biggest share of the cash and a veto on rule changes.

Excellent!!!!
But
It is swapping one right wing dictator who only cares about money for a company ran by the ex No. 1 henchman of Rupert Murdoch another right wing dictator
Still F1 has always been a right wing Junta

There that has stirred it up a bit!

I'm not sure if it's good or not. I'm yet to be convinced about Liberty.

I have been going for a while this would happen.

 

[redsonnylee]

Never thought it would happen so soon, I hope its for the better in the long term.

We need to be very careful what we wish for...replacing Bernie with a US marketing company may not be the best outcome that we all hope for !

 

[DaveT]

Sorry. Good riddance.

Killed F1 over the last 15 years.

Agree with that! He says he was deposed and fired - hardly stepped down gracefully.

 

[Paul - H]

Should have gone 20 years ago, what could be worse than BE

Hmmm... wasn't it an American marketing company that 'organised' the centenary celebrations for Alfa and Maserati!!!

True, but they can't all be tarred with the same brush on that one example!

Donald Trump and the Glasers.

If it means that there will actually be racing rather than a procession it can only be a good thing.

Can't remember the last time I watched a race from start to finish.

 

[LDM 3200]

Sadly long over due.

Although F1 needs a very strong character to make things happen, as for Liberty I hope they canmove things in the right direction but have plenty of concerns too!

Wether Liberty being the right answer, something had to change, F1 is soooo boring at the mo.
