The excrement have finally collided with the rotating air cooling device for the toad from Suffolk. Ecclestone has be indicted in Germany and had to step down. He'll continue running the show, but "subject to increased monitoring by the board"
He's toast - finally!!
He isn't - the "increased monitoring" is just a smokescreen. What they did was "demoting" him without cutting his powers or his salary, only taking his title, thus calming the public without actually changing anything.The excrement have finally collided with the rotating air cooling device for the toad from Suffolk.

"thejudge13" got that wrong, sorry. Bernie's far from finished. The business sections of most newspapers agree with me there. And as this is not about F1 as a sport, but as a business, I think they got more expertise than "thejudge13".
You got that wrong. Ron Dennis is returning, not Ross Brawn.Bernie getting slapped down is sort of interesting, but the news that I thought was cooler in that was that McLaren is going to make Ross Brawn their new Team Principal.

thejudge13 said:McLaren fans who would love to see big Ron once again upon the pit wall will be disappointed as Ross Brawn will be appointed as F1 team principal over the coming months.
McLaren allowed Paddy Lowe to join Mercedes before his contractual period of garden leave had expired, and they will demand a reciprocal arrangement for Brawn. Should Mercedes refuse, they may well find themselves on the wrong end of a legal dispute ? where the precedent for Brawn joining McLaren early will actually be cited to have been set by Mercedes themselves.
Sorry for overcorrecting you, did not read that part of "tj13"'s ramblings.As far as I know, being Team Principal isn't the same as being CEO, though the same person can be both. Having someone like Ross Brawn to run the day to day team leadership and technical stuff while Ron Dennis oversees both the F1 side and Consumer side of the company seems like a good fit for all involved.
As I said, Brawn has been linked with many a team over the last few months and I don't really fancy "tj13"'s know-it-all attitude.
taking direct control of McLaren F1. He would not have taken this step if he did not feel a need to get directly involved with the F1 team again. He could have had Whitmarsh fired from his position as McLaren Group CEO as well. In any case, of course this means that Whitmarsh is toast.
Right now the favorite is "F14 T", pretty self explanatory
