2015 Formula 1 Russian Grand Prix

[Liquid]

And if you no longer go for a gap that exists..etc etc

One of my top five most hated car or motorsport quotes. Right down there with the Jeremy Clarkson "speed doesn't kill you" pasted onto that picture of him spiking the lens and pointing.

Me, too. It's over-played. I mean, by that logic, Pastor Maldonado is the greatest driver ever because he always goes for the gaps that don't exist.

From 2009.

The Formula One commercial rights holder, Bernie Ecclestone, has stoked up controversy by claiming that Adolf Hitler was a man who "was able to get things done", that democracy has not worked out for Britain and that his colleague Max Mosley would make a good Prime Minister.

So it other words, this is nothing new.

Nope. Bernie has always liked a "good" dictator.

 

[GTPorsche]

And that fully explains why he runs F1 like a dictatorship.

And the choice of locations for the more recent additions to the F1 calendar.

The things this man will say just amazes me.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Anything to make Putin bankroll the Russian Grand Prix for the next 100 years.
