Formula One is rubbish, admits Ecclestone
01-03-11
BERNIE Ecclestone has confessed that Formula One is horlix and he’s sick of looking at it.

Nothing beats the romance of the Italian grand prix at Monza
The world’s longest midlife crisis has spent the last 30 years somehow managing to convince people to gawp at a 200mph rollerskate that weighs less than your dinner and costs more than your house.

The deception has made him one of the world’s richest men under four foot tall and has been described by financial experts as ‘a sporting ponzi scheme with lots of big-titted blonde women milling around for no apparent reason’.

Now Ecclestone has finally admitted that Formula One is not so much a spectacle as it is an unremitting procession of eye-clawing dreariness enjoyed by people who need to have a right good feck word with themselves.

He said: “Even if we make it rain spacehips onto the track every five minutes and tune the engines to sound like Kylie Minogue reaching a spectacular climax it’s still going to be like staring at a stretch of the M25 but with an even higher concentration of tedious men with too much money sitting in pointlessly expensive cars.

“You can carry on watching in the hope of a really good pile-up but you may as well watch Eastenders in the hope that Arthur comes out of his allotment shed with Dirty Den’s head on a stick.”

Earlier this year Ecclestone drew up a series of ideas to make the sport more exciting, including the use of agent provocateurs to provoke a revolution in Bahrain and then attempting to stage grand prix right in the middle of it.

But the plan was abandoned when a feasibility study showed motor racing was better at quelling unrest than a job-lot of tranquilser darts.

Ecclestone now hopes to spice up this year’s British grand prix by stopping it halfway through for a poetry reading by Sir Ian McKellen.

NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Formula one is without any doubt the most pointless thing on TV that is passed as sport.

I like F1

Granted I work for a firm who has a large vested interest (in a team that sucks)

I like wendy ball but realised long time ago not to chat about it here for decent chat. I'm on a forum for that. I'm sure there are decent forums for F1.

I don't think you get the point of the general chat sub forum.

And have a good laugh at McLaren at the same time?

Ferrari are looking a lot better this season. Kimi seems to feel good in this years car.

Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

I do damian I'm not that thick. I'm just saying if you want decent chat go elsewhere. I'm offering advice and not telling you what to do. Enjoy the chat anyway.
