Default Bernie Eccleston's words at the French GP

He seemed pretty upset about what happened in the US to me. Genuinely sorry.

Anyone else have any thought's?

Although he's a prize *** I don’t think he had much of a hand in what happened, I think most of the crap was caused by max.

From the reports given in a link in the threads in the "motorspots" section, I think he did try to get some sort of compromise. But his hands were tied (max), can't be easy watching something you've spent most of your life involved in fall to peices.

Hold on a minute, you appear to have forgotten who 'owns' Max

Hmm Bernie managed to get my respect today!
However that **** (max) just showed what a true gimp he is.

I wish Bernie could remove Jim Rosenthal. Im sick of making an abortion of interviewing him. Especially liked the part where Jim tried to get one over on him regarding his comments in the US about Danica Patrick. (He said all women should be in White like other domestic appliances)

"I knew it was a joke" stuttered Rosenthal

Shame 75% of the worlds media dont understand sarcasm.

EDIT

ITV's website put up the interview. Funny how they left out the bit where Rosenthal makes an **** of himself.

The thing that made me smile was when Bernie was talking about all the big ego's flying around at & since the U.S G.P.

Pot, kettle and black spring to mind

And yes, I'm sure he feels genuinely sorry about the whole Michelin affair

No it's not the other way round, check your history The FIA is Bernies Iraq, it was BE's manouvring that got Max his job.
Now Ecclestone appears to have lost control of his puppet, or maybe it's all just part of his scheme to get all the other teams back in line.

That's exactly what I meant - think about it...he used to control it, now his hands are tied. That combined with the Ferrari's dealing makes one fine mess
