He's just a moron. BTW, you don't have to be rich to say what you think - you just have to have balls.

Bernie has never won any personality contests that I'm aware of. And he's rich enough not to have to worry about being politically correct. Such is life. Andrew McP |

Sadly Bernie shares something with the american public - an absolute
ignorance of this woman's achievements before the Indy 500 - like starring in the FF Festival in Britain a few years ago against the best in the world - anyone who knows **** about racing knew then she was going to hace a career and actually, being so small, light, and with F1 cars the way they are (finesse, not muscle) she would be an ideal candidate for one of those cars. Pity F1 has its ass buried so deep they don't understand what an opportunity a femal American driver in F1 would be. And, btw, given a choice between FREE_SACKER and Albers and those twits at Jordan, I know where my money would be.

I do find it odd that he chose to say it about a woman driver that appears to be the real deal and to CALL HER to say those things. Wasn't like she was seeking an F1 ride and looked him up. I'm not a fan of IRL either, but Danica has bigger balls than many of the F1 drivers. They were scared to the point of protest by Indy when F1 first came back, even though the terminal velocity of the F1 cars would have been lower than the speed the IRL cars run lap after lap, they were ****ing their pants over the wall. Ecclestone should at least have the sense to lay low until he gets his own mess under control. |
