Conspiracy Theory

Quote:
The F1 boss said Schumacher's close ties with Mercedes meant he has been unable to offer him a role to stay involved in the sport.

"Well, we wouldn't and we couldn't keep him in another role because he is too close to Mercedes. It would have been easier when he was still close to Ferrari, I guess.
Now what are we to make of that?

In recent times Bernie has not seemed to like Mercedes for some reason. There were long negociations over the concororde agreement was another example of it.

I don't think Bernie will be spotted at any Bavarian Christmas markets, let's just leave it at that

Umm, Mercedes isn't based in Bayern, but rather, in Baden-Wurttemberg.

What sort of job could they offer him? Whether he was with merc or not couldn't see him being a race steward and if he is still working for merc he will still be involved with the sport.
I guess he is just being honest but sort of came across as a bit mean spirited imo.

Is this one of those odd comments Bernie comes out with every so often, like the Hitler one?

I wonder if someone reads the good bits of various internet forums so he can laugh at the carnage his off the cuff wind up comments cause...

Just think of him as Yoda in a wig.

Should offer him a place on the FIA road safety initiative again.

Is there anyone more suited to the job of respecting safety of those around them? I can't think of anybody.

Spritle has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
