Ecclestone lost touch with reality long ago. Now he's in deep space.

It never ends, I swear. I guess its no surprise, but F1 is going to be very hard to watch this year I think. What a shame

Yes dartanian !

Now it will all be exposed as the great one has said before ......

Tell them Bernie, tell them , tell them how you helped MS, Ha haaaa, like i said before , the line was drawn in the sand at Indy , it was no mere coincidence it happened at Indy !

The other teams do what ? Ha, haaaaa, F1 is all about Ferrari , the public couldn't care less if all 18 drivers where driving spec Ferrari's ....
Looks like Bernie and max might be sent packing this time , Monty was his last hold out and they held all the cards thru Ferrari .......

Yes F1 will be hard to watch this , year , lost it's glitter , shucks, booo , hooo, !!!!! LOL
It's the best and worst of times gents, Enjoy !........I will , when is Australia again ? wake the finn up he has another bet to make ....

Last days of the Roman Empire. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys.

I guess a lot of fans wouldn't watch F1 if Ferrari wasn't there- but if it was a package deal; Ron, Bernie and Ferrari all out, I sure would. In their own unique ways, they all hurt the sport.

They got rid of MS , which helped to break Ferrari's stranglehold on the lot , as they ( bernie and co ) got tired of propping him up for the show ..
F1 has moved on now , it is now the Lewis and Alonso show , it is what the fans want to see FA and LH going at it... LH is the new draw , no one cares if massa or KR wins, really !

LH has broken the public stranglehold Ferrari has held for decades , yes as WDC LH is F1 future like it or not .... he brings a lot to the table , you would not believe how many non racing fans watch f1 now because of Lewis. he is the best thing to have happened to the sport as it heads into trouble waters . By winning the WDC again next year he will solidify his place and become the sports new bargaining chip , which he already has somewhat.

I watched my first F1 race 47 years ago on CBS. It was the 1961 Monaco GP, and it was great. 2008 was the best GP year I have ever watched. I really can't see 2009 being bad without Honda. Don't get me wrong, I like Honda, I race a Honda, and would like to cheer for them. But nobody is indispensable. I cant see the Bernie, Monty thing being that big of a deal. But, I guess I could be wrong. I'm still looking forward to 2009.

As much as they huff and puff, Ferrari's tied to F1 just like F1 is (perceivably) tied to Ferrari. Ferrari minus F1 would hurt them too as many people are drawn to Ferrari through F1 especially in Europe. Probably more than people drawn to F1 through Ferrari. They could probably get their own series, but it couldnt compete with F1. All Ferrari's would be BORING, and they wouldnt get anyone else in there to get possibly even worse favortism than there is in F1, which would even out without Ferrari getting all the breaks.

The point is that Ferrari isnt going anywhere, they need F1 too.
