Ecclestone hates F1’s boring drivers
“It's crap, they don't want to thank anyone.” [03/10/03 - 11:33]
1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has called on the Formula One drivers to try and be more outspoken, and tell the truth as they see it instead of sounding like press releases.
According to Ecclestone there’s nothing more boring than a driver thanking everyone he has ever known when he claims a victory, or a strong finish at a race. Or those who are afraid to tell the truth when they do poorly for fear of upsetting their teams.
Rather, the Brit would like to see more drivers like Jacques Villeneuve and former F1 driver Eddie Irvine who are not afraid to be critical if they feel it is deserving.
"People want a driver like Jacques Villeneuve or Eddie Irvine, who are not afraid to say it like it is," Ecclestone told The Sun. “I hate it when drivers get out of their car after a win. They thank their grandmother, aunt, tyre and fuel companies, sponsors, uncle and old school. It's crap, they don't want to thank anyone."
Bernie går offensivt ut!

Bernie går offensivt ut!
Tror hellre han skal koncentrera sig om att göra F1 till en sport istället för business igen och få bort WWF stämpeln även det ligger lite i vad han säger.
Sit Rubens sit!

Några quotes:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It goes without saying that there are some real arseholes in Formula One. In addition, some have serious psychological problems."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Still with Jordan Irvine was asked to take part in a photo shoot, but at the time was not interested. He told team boss Eddie Jordan: "Do I have to? Send out some f**ker in my helmet, they'll never know the difference"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interviewer: "You won the race, in the extra laps you were out on your first stint, it was absolutely demon laps, did you just go as fast as you can or did you have a target of time to gain?"
Eddie: "No, I drove around as slowly as I could, yer know, well within the limits of the car!"
Interviewer: "Now towards the end David [Coulthard] was closing right up with you and we saw some smoke in the TV pictures. Was there a problem?"
Eddie: "Probably coming from my brain. It was overheating!"

det
Det är ju precis det han menar.
Att folk bara snackar varumärke och tackningar osv.
Han önskar sig mer "rabalder" och ärlighet som JV och EI är duktiga på, sen om det kommer från rätt person kan man ju diskutera.
