Magny-Cours is also a loving terrible track E: I think it was Spa he was threatening to boot last time Bernie 'signed a contract' for a second US race Tsaedje fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Mar 28, 2016 |

Bernie says he is going to have to do [terrible horrible sport breaking thing] unless [really horrible thing] happens. Fans, teams and media goes mental. Bernie says good news everyone I've done a deal so neither of these things happen and we only have to do [thing no one would normally agree to] instead! Repeat for 50 years.

Pretty much, except it seems the teams would rather have totally broken quali than 'compromise' and have any of Bernie's ideas this time. Reminder that an actual Bernie tactic when losing an argument is to 'accidentally' spill a drink as a distraction.

Every Bernie interview on Sky ever: He is but a kindly doddery old man, the sport is fine and he does not know what the fuss is about opps look what's happened to the table, isn't this a droll moment of levity *chuckle chuckle*

One of my favorite Sky Bernie moments was when Ted asked him about what the Monza owners had to do to keep the race, whether they just needed to bring a checkbook and pen to the contract meetings. Bernie answered "No I have pens." If you're going to live under the murderous jackboot of a satanic tyrant, it's nice for him to have a sense of humor at least.

in all seriousness Mark Webber is one of the very few legitimate "start from the bottom and work up" guys in modern history so I at least give him credit for that (Alonso was already pretty much spotted by Benetton/Renault by the time he started with Minardi) but yeah he was trash in a top car

mark webber is a prime example of a great midfield driver whose time in a title-winning car illustrated exactly why he was never given that kind of equipment before

another fun fact: Toto Wolff would qualify for a F1 superlicence if he put the laps in in free practice and testing. If he could fit in the car he could probably beat Nico Rosberg. Reminder that Mercedes are saying it was Lewis' poor reactions that put him 4m behind Rosberg at the start of the race.
