Mercedes May Exit F1 due to Eccelstone's Bribery Scandal

[Remy Zero]

I think they're just throwing a drama. Since they came into F1, every now and then i seem to read 'Merc to exit F1'.

While there is a certain amount of posturing for the Concorde negotiations in the statement there is also enough truth in it to make it plausible.

Definitely not stupid. He takes 70% of the money coming into F1 and has made £2billion !! out of F1. Who else has made that much?

Bernie has made himself a ton of money but more importantly he has and continues to make a lot of others rich. He's got a lot of influential folks loathe to upset the status quo.

No intention of hijacking this thread, so let's not turn this into an economic/ political debate. We can probably all agree that the economic climate is bad.

Daimler have reported very profitable quarters for quite some time now, and this company has never had any issue selling their cars. The company is financially in an excellent position despite the state of the economy for the past few years. This is public information so it's not difficult to find. Daimler is not a company that is so much based on what is happening locally, it's global and its biggest customers are still buying their products clean off the shelves.


Bernie will get out of this, he always does.

You're talking about replacement parts for faulty components?

I'm not so sure, they seem like they are out for blood, they already took down the banker who was very rich and powerful.
