Wow, F1 talk in a.org, this really is the perfect forum! Yeah, Ecclestone has to go, big time. It's not just his tailoring of the F1 scene to his own petty tastes, he clearly comes across as an a**hole on the TV as well. Such a huge institution as F1 shouldn't be so firmly in the hands of just one guy. Presumably, there is no president of Football as a whole (don't know / care), or Boxing, etc.
As for BAR's ban, UK coverage of F1 is limited to race weekends, so what happens inbetween comes all at once. A little surprised to hear of this, vehicles should definitely be checked before the race. Would a boxer be let into the ring with a concealed weapon? Would an olympic high jumper be allowed to wear springs on his feet? (not suggesting foul play on BAR's part, just lack of procedure on F1's).
BTW, any other brits annoyed at F1 moving to ITV with ads, etc? Aaarghh! WHATS HAPPENING AT THE FRONT??? I DON~T CARE ABOUT PRODUCTS TO KEEP MY TOILET SMELLING LIKE A RAIN FOREST!!!!!
