Bernie back in F1?

If he buys the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace, home of the Brazilian GP.

If he does we'll see if he updates the facilities to the specifications he demanded of others.

If he does it won't be because he paid for it. He'll squeeze the promoter for the money.

Let's hope he gets squeezed for some hefty fee by the new F1 management

Bernie, the new victim

The track owner is not necessarily the promoter (i.e. the organisation who signs the deal with FOM and runs the GP event).

[Vaud]

He buys a track with a reasonable lock-in remaining - a track that can't easily be excluded.

He then positions himself as the negotiator of track owners to deal with the big bad F1 Group.

The original story appears to have been written by one of Bernies tame sources, so who knows how true it actually is.

Poacher turned gamekeeper.... or vice versa

Doesn't he own Paul Ricard Circuit as well? Think that's on the 2018 F1 calendar? I'm guessing he could probably just about afford to buy every single F1 grade track there is?

Urgh. F1 on a track with infinite run off?
