Here’s a nice little exchange with Bernie Ecclestone who discusses a number of topics, including Lewis Hamilton’s driving style, the success of Sebastian Vettel, the future of Formula One ownership and its broadcast agreement with the BBC. It’s clear the 80-year-old F1 boss is as sharp as ever.
Crucilally, Ecclestone says F1 is not for sale, despite confirmed interest from News Corporation. Ecclestone also says he would consider all options in regards to future television rights, including the possibility of pay television.

It’s funny how everyone listens to Bernie, when in truth he owns a very small percentage stake in F1.
The majority is owned by CVC, who by coincence until recently owned my company as well. Unfortunately I could never score any F1 freebies
You’re right Robbo. But what Bernie wants he usually gets, that’s why people listen.
