		It looks like good old Bernie Ecclestone is thinking about changing the F1 Points system.
		Bernie suggests that with only 2 extra points for a win many drivers would be tempted to settle for second place.
		Bernie also suggests that the championship should be based on wins alone, in other words five wins and the rest DNF is champion over 4 wins and the rest second place.

	Bernie Ecclestone attempts to shrug off court ruling
		Bernie Ecclestone has attempted to shrug off Monday’s court ruling, which found in favour of the three banks holding a 75 per cent stake in Formula One, by making a substantial cash offer to the sport’s ten teams in an attempt to prevent a breakaway series.
		According to sources, Ecclestone has said that he is prepared to put around £300million on the table to prevent the breakaway - and to prevent his stakeholding, as well as that of the banks, from being rendered worthless.
		And, whilst he also told reporters that the High Court ruling amounted to little in the scheme of things, Ecclestone also intimated that he was prepared to work with the banks to ensure the future of Formula One.

		Ecclestone added that many of Formula One’s past stars would still be alive today if more had been done for safety in previous decades.
		Ecclestone also praised the work carried out by former F1 medical chief Professor Sid Watkins, after whom the annual lecture on motor sport safety is named.
		As Ecclestone put it: “If I was a driver who wanted to feel safe I would be happier today then I would have done when you see some of these cars that were racing 20 years ago.

		I see Bernie Ecclestone has dragged the F1 scoring system into the limelight again, saying that there should be a greater points difference between winning and coming second.
		Bernie’s other suggestion, that the championship go to the driver with most wins, would be a bad mistake, in my opinion.
		Bernie Ecclestone has been hinting at the possibility of a second GP for the States and is talking to people in Las Vegas and Chicago apparently.

		This is the thing that everyone who meets Ecclestone for the first time says about him: that the reality is so at odds with the perception, it leaves those steeling themselves for a fight completely disarmed.
		Two minutes in Ecclestone's company, experiencing the way he makes you believe you are the most important thing in his life at that moment, and anyone would find themselves signing on the dotted line immediately.

	Bernie Ecclestone: The Interview
		Bernie agreed to meet just after the New Year in his office in London and when we met we talked for an hour and twenty minutes: no ground rules were set, no time limits; no flaks, no intermediaries, no requirement that questions be submitted in advance.
		Bernie also confirmed that Canadian-by-way-of-Monaco Jacques Villeneuve is as close to an American driver as will participate in the U.S. Grand Prix: there won't be any local "ringers" added by the teams to give the fans a local hero to cheer for as had been the practice years ago in Formula One.
		Bernie wants you to know that those 6 in-car cameras made available to the Digital TV subscribers cost $10 -12 million per year and there has to be some differentiation between the world feed and Pay-TV customers for obvious reasons.

		To go along with the court cases and public humiliation resulting from the recent US Grand Prix, it seems that his medication may be wearing off.
		Patrick received a telephone call from Ecclestone last week during which he congratulated the Indy Racing League rookie for her performance at the Indianapolis 500, but also reiterated remarks he had made during an interview at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the U.S. Grand Prix was being held.
		Bernie’s quite short and regularly wears white suits, so I’d think that he would make quite a nice domestic appliance himself.

		If Ecclestone were to accept, he would have to turn his back on the SLEC holding company that is controlled 75 percent by Bayerische Landesbank, JP Morgan and Lehman Brothers.
