F1 power monger Bernie Ecclestone is not shedding a tear at the loss of the HRT from the 2013 starting grid, which leaves 11 teams in motorsport’s premier category, and would prefer another team left the sport as well.
Perhaps not the best Christmas message if you’re Caterham or Marussia. But it’ll be all smiles down at Ferrari, who seem to be Formula 1’s untouchables while Bernie is in charge.
Speaking to Reuters, Ecclestone said: “I’d rather have 10. I never wanted 12.
“It’s just that 10 is easier to handle, for the promoters, for transport. We’d rather have 10…so long as we don’t lose Ferrari.”
