Bernie Ecclestone`s is nuts

[ShakenNstirred]

Bernie Ecclestone`s latest idea for getting more overtaking in F1 is short cuts
just been reported on BBC news lol
he said the drivers could have 5 shortcuts in a race to use as n when they like.
what is this guy still doing in F1

what is this guy still doing in F1

Money and ownership are the only reasons I can think.

...but seriously when will they introduce the Sheild and Deathheads to drive over to activate weapons and defence

So all that money\messing around with chicanes was wasted effort?

...Great for safety!

Haha going to love when they make it so that everyone at the front on the pack have to slow down while the rest of the pack catches up to ensure close finishes

Why not turn it into a game of Mariokart?

 

['Wes]

Mario karts! I'm taking up F1 as a profession if they do this.

That's what "safety car" is for

Perhaps he is just poking fun at the media again?

Silly idea

The guy is senile. He needs to be in a nursing home, not running Formula One.

How is that exciting overtaking, didn't people complain about overtaking in the pits. What a total numpty. I swear they are trying to grind the sport into the ground.

At this rate we’ll have a parade lap and a draw to select the finishing order. The man has lost it and should retire.

 

[Dup]

I think he is rather clever actually.

I reckon these crackpot ideas are just stunts to generate interest in the sport and get some publicity and he knows full well they won't go ahead and the teams would hate the idea. He's just an eccentric fool using controversy to get the sport in print.

Even then some cheating will happen somehow

I could have used less 'and' in that one methinks

 

[xen_]

rofl, funny guy... well unless he actually tries to push these into the sport.

It's just Bernie playing with the media again.

Note to OP, an apostrophe is ', not a backtick, and it's completely unneeded in the title when "is" is also present!
