Bernie Ecclestone defiende a Lewis Hamilton

It is becoming in commonplace to hear talk about the actions of the British after each Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton has received critical of people supposedly highly "proven" as Niki Lauda, even drop to continue with this situation, someone could be seriously injured.

It is now the patron saint of F1, Bernie Ecclestone, who has been in defense of Hamilton in the images of "the independent". According to the representative the McLaren driver was not the only one that led to accidents during the career of Montreal and that people only bother to see what happens before and not in late position in the classification.

People is wrong to criticise Lewis. What we want is competitive people, and those who see (racing) want that. If you discuss what happened and see what they did the rest of pilots. Lewis did very well, as Sebastian and Jenson. Let him run.

Bernie Ecclestone says that the GP of Bahrain will not be this 2011

The decision of the FIA adopted the dispute of the Grand Prize of Bahrain October 30th is bringing tail. Even Carlos Gracia, Vice President of the FIA, has had to come to the step justifying their views on the situation in the country. The last to join the formed uproar was Bernie Ecclestone. Speaking to the English chain BBC has indicated that the race will not take place this season.
Yesterday same Max Mosley said the FIA that its plan to compete in the Grand Prize of Bahrain in October would have to be approved unanimously by the teams. It seems, they told the FIA, the FOM and the international Bahrain circuit that is unworkable held the race this season.
The words of Ecclestone to the English chain were the following:

The calendar cannot be modified without the agreement of the participants, that is a fact.

If the teams oppose there is no return of leaf, goodbye Grand Prize of Bahrain. However, the small Warhol stated that he hopes that the Grand Prix continue playing in the future. The rumoreados € 40 million paying Canon are a number who probably doesn't want to resign as well as.

Bernie Ecclestone, ready to give more time to Bahrain

Bernie Ecclestone is ready to give more time to Bahren, in relation to the dispute of the Grand Prix. This would mean that the deadline of 1 may, decided by the FIA, to make the decision about the hypothetical Grand Prix of Bahrain 2011 would be obsolete, and would be allowed to make a decision later.
Earlier this week, we saw activists asked Bernie Ecclestone that is not reinstating the race this year, and the reply of the Supreme did not expect. Obviously, Bernie is not for the work of Miss the money that can be achieved with the dispute of the race.
In principle, seeing that the situation in Bahrain is not improving, and always according to Bernie Ecclestone, it is possible that the date limit be extended in a few weeks, with the goal that everything returns to normal and the Grand Prize can be guaranteed. The initial idea of the English is approximately the first week of June.
According to Ecclestone, at times, situations can thus change within two weeks, and believed possible, although it now seems that the situation does not improve, be resolved completely in a month. Come on, if not we had enough with Ecclestone talking about formula one, now we have to see how he gets into the internal affairs of other countries.

Activists call on Bernie Ecclestone that is does not restore the Bahrain Grand Prix

Bahrain pro-democracy activists call on Bernie Ecclestone that is does not restore the Grand Prix, at the moment, this season. This message, a week after the deadline for deciding if it will try to compete in the race, has sent an open letter.
The letter asks that did not dispute the Bahrain Grand Prix until that improvement in the situation in the country, claiming to organise an event, which would have to be something happy, in the midst of a country that does not respect human rightsIt is not logical.
Torture, murder, military forces everywhere, are just some of the current problems that the open letter mentions. But the open letter goes even further, and said that organizing an event in the middle of a despot country would not understood or accepted around the world.
In addition, calls for a letter from part of Ecclestone in which said that it will not dispute the race under the current situation in Bahrain, and not until human rights are respected in the country, and until the end of repression will be. The letter ends up looking for "peace", between formula one and activists.

Thank you very much for your support, and we hope to see soon the Bahrain Grand Prix again, in a free and democratic atmosmera to which you have contributed.

Teams, for their part, have remained on the sidelines in a deliberate manner, not wanting to get into trouble for political reasons. Meanwhile, expect news by Bernie Ecclestone and the FIA in relation to the hypothetical future dispute of the Grand Prize.

Bernie Ecclestone has in mind sell F1

Yesterday news surprised friends and strangers. Apparently, Rupert Murdoch, Australian entrepreneur of the communications sector, was studying together with Carlos Slim buy formula one rights are currently owned by bernie ecclestone. After the commotion caused by the leak Bernie has reacted and has come to the fore by ensuring that "our" sport is not for sale.
The British seemed very upset yesterday after the information expressed by Sky News, who also is acting in exercise of the work of medium popularizer of the intentions of Rupert. So much so that it has come to describe as "garbage" rumors about the change of hands of the rights of exploitation of the great circus. In addition also refers to the possibility that CVC wants to do with television rights and therefore the formula one will become a pay per view.

Bernie Ecclestone determined that Bahrain will return

Isn't bad let's see racing in Bahrain, hopefully we can return to enjoy a career there fun because that it will be indicative of waters back slowly on track in the Emirate, but to my increasingly that leaves bernie ecclestone stating things like what we are going to discuss now, me smells that talk of $.

And it is that Yes, Mr Ecclestone, all we realize that it is necessary to recover the $ 40 million that the FIA has had to pay for costs of suspension of the event. As you said, it would not collect the Prince Bahrain, even above.

That Yes, I love the personal touch that gives Bernie everything:

The rate normally paid by the event are not paying it. I not charge them for the race They are not going to celebrate.

If they are covered by their insurers to loss of profits, tickets, etc… do not know. But if something is unavoidable, it is so. It's like if there was an earthquake nobody it can provide for a month before.

If there is new date they will pay normal rates

It is as if he were saying: "Something has happened force majeure so that's what." "Not charging it now cobrare them when you return to celebrate the event". At the moment I believe more sensible would join the rest of the world to held end conflict and peace in Middle East, and not be speaking of bitches. Say I, Bernie, then what happens and people already or you appreciates.
