Bernie Doubles the Money

Quote:
Race supremo Bernie Ecclestone, it has been revealed, will attract votes from F1 principals by offering to 'double' their TV-money received for just competing.
Doesn't seem odd that Bernie is suddenly willing to double what the teams get when just a short time ago he was adamant he would not?
I think Bernie and Max are desperate to get Maxs rules passed and the breakaway series squashed.

He had to choose between "less money for him", or "no money for him"... And quite rightly, he chose the former... give teams a bigger share but heck, he still get millions into his pockets.

It's not as if Bernie is going to miss the money & it keeps everyone happy although it does seem poor on his behalf that it took a threat to form a breakaway competition for him to part with the money.

yeah-bernie is only 'giving' something that he was going to (rightly)lose anyway
Frankly i would rather see the GPWC go ahead.Not because i think they can run a good championship but just to get rid of those two crooks once and for all!!
