If you make it a tag (@zed300) in the voting, it could work.

I think the joke is that he appears to be looking directly at Zed's avatar from the picture... But thanks for the tip, I'll do that anyway 👍

That's why I said do that, as people can click the name and see the avatar.

[Pezzarinho17]

BE : "And how much money will it take to make you shut up?"

Second entry:
BE : "It is a generous offer, but I think you have mistaken my money for Max Mosley's..."​

 

[Furinkazen]

"I would like to thank all those billionares and governments who paid me millions to help me gain this historic victory today."
​

 

[craigatm]

​

Bernie: "Just one Cornetto, give it to me"...

Reporter: "Should have gone to Specsavers"!

 

[GTP_Ingram]

"Yes, it's true, I admit it! Every single hair on my head sprouts from the same follicle."​

 

[Famine]

One for @GTP_Ingram here:

Interviewer: "Bernie, can you imagine how much better F1 could be if someone else ran it with a decent format? More emphasis on the racing and keep concentrating on that instead of faulty equipment and short events because of tight schedules, all these hundreds of thousands of people dedicate their lives to practicing and get tiny little events where circumstances decide the results. There was one year I remember one of the competitors being blatantly rammed off by someone in plain sight of me and he was straight out of the competition and I thought they were a potential winner. I thought it was really unfair on him, I remember thinking how unfair it was on the time and effort he put in to get there. If that race would've been a one on one the steward might've actually open his eyes and seen something.

One day perhaps hopefully someone will come up with a great format that really digs the proper talent out! It would really be great then to see some real young talent being found."

 

[niky]

What do you mean scot-free? You know how long it's going to take me to make back all that money?

Oh, wait... I already have.

Thanks for allowing me to read his response without actually directly bothering to read his response.

 

[Akmuq]

BE: Here's €5,000, don't ask anymore questions.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Guy on left: Damn I'm so baked! Where am I? Is that a McDonalds over there?

Guy on right: €60 million eh? I barely get any money as it is! Maybe I should sue him for fraud, I never wanted this moustache anyway!

 

[TheBook]

Bernie: "Actually, I think €100m is a very good price for a new racetrack."

 

[prisonermonkeys]

"I don't know why the court is naming its new $100 million development after McLaren. You'd have to ask Ron Dennis about that."​

 

[Touring Mars]

This week on 'Pimp My Bribe'...​

 

[Pupik]

Five-grid spot penalty for the Court's unsafe release of Bernard Charles Ecclestone.

 

[Flex0r]

BE: " I did not have sexua.... no wait, I am not a croo..... no wait, sorry no comment."

 

[Soundtrack]

Journalist: This verdict must make you feel lighter right?

 

[prisonermonkeys]

"The judge threatened to send me to Azkaban, so I thought to myself 'why not?' and sent some of my people to inspect it. And that's how we got the 2016 European Grand Prix."​

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Bernie: It takes millions to keep this 140 year old body looking so young; join me for drinks later sweetie?

 

[Jimlaad43]

Caterham are looking for a driver with a bit of money and some previous racing experience. Only one guy seemed to have enough money.

 

[Jimlaad43]

@Touring Mars, could we have a informal but proper non-championship voting form for the Bernie-gate round?

 

[NFX]

"There are many similarities between myself and Mr. Madoff, I admit."

 

[Pupik]

Off-topic: the very thought of a former Vanwall driver taking the seat at Caterham gives me a happy nerdgasm.
