Bernie Ecclestone Removed as Head of F1

[Warwick Hunt]

Bernie Ecclestone has been removed from his position running Formula 1 as US giant Liberty Media completed its $8bn (£6.4bn) takeover of the sport - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/38723001

Good, old wiggy was only interested in making more money rather than developing the sport, probably why F1 became so boring.

Best thing to happen to F1 in many a long year. The money grabbing old gipper had no heart or soul for the sport and didn't care if iconic races vanished off the calendar so long as someone else was willing to pay the vast sums he demanded for staging F1 races.
Fcuk of Bernie, let the sport prosper without you.

And for someone worth billions, you'd think he could afford a better wig than that, the grasping old cnut! Good riddance I say.

They should give him complimentary tickets for all future GPs as a thank you for what he has done.

No hotels, flights, expenses or pit lane / paddock passes. Lets see if he did it for the money or the love of the sport.
