Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Killing Formula One.

[Rick Lindsay (rolindsay]

One thing we must remember; Bernie and Max are
flamboyant characters.  They manipulate the press like
maestros at the Met!  And the press influences
sponsors who in turn, influence F1 teams.  I think
these two clowns stir up the pot just to keep interest
high - which equals MONEY.  Will these guys cause
changes?  Yes.  Will they turn F1 into NASCAR? 
Probably not.  Still...
