Is there no limit to what Ecclestone can get away with?

[Some Gump]

Just read that Bernie has told Hockenheim that he'll half the race promoter fee - as long as he is the promoter and gets all ticket sales.

How, in any company can that not be seen as conflict of interest? I'd be GPM'd instantly for any deal that benefited me not the company, under any circumstance.

He's an enigma that Ecclestone, he really is!
