I really don't like this bloke - money money money, that's all it is for him! :mad:

"I think in the next few years, Europe will be left with only five races," Ecclestone is quoted by Marca. "I think Europe is finished. It will be a good place for tourism but little else. Europe is a thing of the past."

Depends really, soon enough the Eastern European countries will be wanting in. Plus we're not even sure Austin is going to be available at this point....

thats it, iv had enough with this ignorant *******, I hope he ***** off to his pathetic retirement home in the deep blue sea.

Yes, screw Europe, take the races to countries where no one really cares about F1. Build new circuits the fans hate woohoo.

TaKeN · 29 Nov 2011 at 23:12

I think (hope!) he's refering to Valencia.. that track is nothing but a bloody bore fest!

Shimmy · 29 Nov 2011 at 23:31

I take everything Bernie says with a pinch of salt.

pingwing · 29 Nov 2011 at 23:57

Hopefully he'll ditch Valencia and Barca (ANY other spanish track will do just not those 2)

Plus he's stupidly old and will die soon enough

MagicBoy · 30 Nov 2011 at 00:35

Bernie is starting to go senile and think he's some sort of world-spanning dictator.

He isn't.

Everyone loves Alonso, so there HAS to be a spanish circuit /home GP , esp while he is at Ferrari (ie a top team)

I cant stand either circuit also, but there isnt another (spanish) circuit thats up to F1 requirements / standards is there?

Dear Bernie,
Like Europe you will also soon become a thing of the past.
Regards,
Everyone who enjoys races that aren't in the middle of flat deserts.

He is right though.

4T5 · 30 Nov 2011 at 10:47

Isn't he dead yet ?

Muffin` · 30 Nov 2011 at 11:09

It'll only be a thing of the past if it takes off in the USA and Asia, so far nothing to really back that up
