Sounds like Bernie is being a bit of a 'domestic appliance' himself.

Only Ferrari has signed to stay with Ecclestone after the 2007 season.

I'm a fan of Ferrari in F1 (actually more a fan of Michael Schumacher), but there is definitely a pro-Ferrari bias that is as clear as day. I'm surprised the other teams have stomached it for this long.

I think that was a rude remark. However, Danica is going to have stop the cheesecake pictures until she wins. This is hard for me to say because I like the pictures.

She is not going to be perceived as serious as long as she's doing the pictures and finishing 13th.

Yes she did do well in the Indy 500. Her race last week, was pretty disappointing.

After Bernie's debacle today, he's in no position to talk about others.

The man is walking scum.

"You know, I've got one of these wonderful ideas that women should be all dressed in white like all the other domestic appliances,"

That statement pretty much speaks for itself.

All that money and he can't buy taste, class, or a clue.

After that F1 embarrassment at Indy today, I don't think he should be shooting off his mouth. It seems that an American woman is more of a racer than the Euro-weenies that were out there today.

Bernie has been a horse's posterior for the whole 25 years he has run F1. American oval racing of any type particularly galls him (quote: "That shi**y little oval in Phoenix" et. al). Ms Patrick is a bit sure of herself for my taste, but she's taken the typical route to the big leagues of American open-wheel racing these days and appears to have more than enough talent to do the job. He's just going to have to get over it.

After the dismal episode today in the US Grand Prix (Formula 1) Danica Patrick and the other race series look wonderful by comparison.

I am a very long term fan of Formula 1, but the one driver one car dominance over the last few years has worn thin. Until today, it looked like others would give Michael a run for his money, this year--still might.

But the Michelin blowup, the poor decisions by many, cast this series in bad light for me. I like open wheel, and I like road courses.

The US is a big potential market, where several tracks could host GP events.

Isn't Bernie Ecclestone a big Labour supporter in Britain?

[chariotdriver]

I wish Formula 1 was like it was with cars of the late 70's. The March, Lola, Lotus, & Tyrrell vehicles.

Then Le-Mans, the Ferrari 312, Ford GT40, Porsche 908 and 917 series.
I believe if Ford had kept evolving the GT40 they could have beat the Porsche 917.
NOW THAT would be some racing!

[Red Sea Swimmer]

Bernie Ecclestone proves that wealth does not equal class.

[MikefromOhio]

that guy must be a FReeper.

I have seen simliar comments from a few on here unfortunately...

[You Dirty Rats]

Bernie should be dressed in bright yellow or orange like all of the other power tools. Between this asinine comment and the fiasco at Indy today the man has managed to alienate the American market. What a complete jackass!

[ajolympian2004]

This idiot obviously didn't watch Danica Patrick at Indy. A 4th place finish and the fastest lap of the month in May probably puts her a level above anyone in F1.
