Ecclestone had other options for Silverstone
« on: December 08, 2009, 01:47:27 PM »
Being British he should have a little pride and interest in
keeping a British GP.If not that then for the history of F1.



Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone was set to move Britain's Formula 1 race elsewhere if Silverstone failed to meet his obligations. According to Ecclestone there is no more money in Europe to organise a race but there is plenty of budget outside Europe.

"There are other places desperate for races but there was no more money in Europe," Ecclestone told the Express. "I got fed up with the whingeing and moaning. It has taken too long, but now Silverstone can get on with it for years to come and make a fortune.

Ecclestone furthermore said that saving the British Grand Prix wasn't because the race is one of his personal favourites. "I didn't have any special sentiment because it was Britain, but if people think I helped then that's nice," he said.


Mark Twain once opined, "it's easier to con someone than to convince them they've been conned."

For whom, Bernie? You? Greedy twit!
