If only there was some way to get JYS into power. That would shake things up nicely. I can imagine Bernie’s face knowing that Stewart was examining the details of the deal that gave him 100 years of F1 commercial rights for 2 tins of beans and a box of Rice Krispies. I think there would be a case in front of the courts within 6 months against Max and Bernie for fraud and operating as a cartel. It would be interesting to see what a real court made of the alleged one of payment Bernie made to Max which happened by shear chance to be exactly the same amount as the FIA got for 100 years of F1 rights.

Its a rare moment that Sir Jackie doesn’t speak the truth.
How different the F1 world would be if he’d branched into its politics instead of running a team?

I also think Stewart will be difficult to silence. Last time Stewart said anything of consequence on F1, Max tried calling him a certified halfwit, a classic case of the accuser looking like the accusation.

The last I heard was that they were trying to patch their marriage up. {Ollie – previous comment}

I suspect the prospect of losing a couple of billion would have that effect. Or maybe I’m just being too cynical and Bernie/Slavica/both really does/do think this marriage can be saved. In which case good luck to them.

Well, with a bit of luck Slavica Ecclestone’s divorce shysters will take care of that.

Slavica couldn’t do worse as the head of FOM could she?

But I have to admit, I think you’re right with this point.

Bernie with too much power? The hell you say!
