In conversation - Bernie Ecclestone & Ron Dennis

[woof]

Great little interview with Bernie & Ron here

"Q: Ron, did you ever think of Bernie as an idol, a hero of your youth?
RD: No. How could he be? He only had one thing on his mind, which was to make money. My heroes were drivers. In a way they were gladiators for me, and unfortunately many lost their lives in those days. To name one, it would be Jim Clark. He was a real hero for me. I saw him at an event at Goodwood. He raced in three categories in one day - and was always on the limit. He was special - his aura, his talent, his way of driving.
BE: Very true. "

Excellent

interview said:

RD: I remember that. The drivers didn’t want to start because the fans were sitting and standing too close to the track. I mean they were in the corners, in front of the barriers. But when they started to throw bottles we all felt that it was probably better to start… So indeed the organisation today differs a lot - thanks to Bernie!
BE: Come off it - my organisation starts after the race, when I collect the money bag!

Classic.
