Bernie Ecclestone: Quote of the Day
2008-02-28 16:46:00 Now’s the time to get a bit silly I guess and the first to enter is Bernie Ecclestone. Well, actually he is silly a lot of the time, and today reaffirms this although it is kind of funny. Ecclestone has considered Kimi Raikkonen a ‘bore’ in the past. Ahh, I can see a little bit why he may think that. He doesn’t smile a lot, appears serious all the time, and his post race interviews are not the stuff for good television, but according to Ecclestone, Raikkonen is a lot of fun when he’s a little drunk. “Every time I’ve been out to dinner with him, he has been as good as gold.” “And he’s even better when he’s pissed.” “There’s nothing wrong with that. He doesn’t embarrass people to the extent they say: ‘My God, he shouldn’t be doing that’. I think I’ll be calling a few good restaurants and see if Kimi will join me.

Bernie Ecclestone gives an ultimatum to the Australian GP.
2007-05-20 21:58:00 Formula 1's pope, Bernie Ecclestone warned the Australian Grand Prix organization today. He wants the race to be scheduled during the night to increase the number of television viewers. Should the organization fail to do so, Ecclestone said that he would move the event in a different country. Melbourne's contract is due to expire in 2010.The Singapore GP and Malaysian GP are almost officially scheduled and are supposed to be run during the night. An anonymous person close to the australian organization said that such a demand will not be suited for the local population. Starting the race at 9PM will ruin the event known to be a family activity. It would be ideal to keep the event during the afternoon according to that person. There are also security issues that have to be considered. Some pilots including Fernando Alonso say that night races are virtually impossible to be done for security reasons. To me, the best solution is still to air the event live and broadcast it a few hour...
