Whoops. Sorry, used to writing in Italian. I'd also have a job finding the shortcut to that accent on my keyboard with the program I'm using.

And we call Roma, Rome. Is it so hard for us to say the first word?

back on topic, i thought bernie's alleged comments about the whole situation were pretty shady to be honest! i suspect if he'd been in the car, not button or any of the f1 personnel there would have been a far greater drama. |

Bernie couldn't care less, because you can be sure he had the best protection of anyone and Interlagos works as an F1 venue because the drivers like the circuit, the fans are great and the teams are prepared to put up with the less than perfect working conditions, so he's happy.
He didn't seem to care that even some of his own FOM people had been attacked. |

wow just read his comments here.
i cant tell if he is trying to make a joke or not. usually i am a fan of the guy but just reading the quotes used here leaves me with the feeling that reality is not a concept he has regular dealings with. |

As far as he's concerned Brazil is safe because he's not been inconvenienced, but how many years ago did he threaten to stop the British GP because he managed to get mud on the tyres of his chauffer driven limousine? Personally I don't want to see the Brazilian GP go from the calendar, there is a great deal of passion for the sport in that country, but I do think it's about time that Bernie showed some compassion and respect for the guys who are actually working at the coal face* in his multi-million dollar earning enterprise (and to their families) and not dismiss such happenings as trivial. *I include in this not just Jenson Button, who was lucky to escape un-harmed, but other members of team personnel who have not been so fortunate in the past. |

Buton was in a armored mercedes, unless they had a bazooka they could have hurt him. No lucky there, the driver was a trained policeman for such situations.

"They look for victims, they look for anyone that looks like a soft touch and not too bright," said the billionaire, whose current girlfriend is Brazilian. "The people that look a bit soft and simple, they will always have a go at. "I think here for the race weekend they probably watch TV and see who's not qualified in the top 10 and think well they must be a bit stupid otherwise they would qualify in the top 10 obviously. So they are victims." Ecclestone inquired, with feigned ignorance, where McLaren's Button had qualified. Told it was 11th, he replied: "There you are you see, I have to rest my case." The muggers are obviously targeting whoever leaves the track but no way is it planned as meticulously as Ecclestone's suggesting, I really question his mental make up sometimes.

Bernie should be wary of complacency. Once the thieves get their hands on helicopters he will be as exposed as everyone else.
