F1 Racing: What does the Future Hold for Our Bernie
No one sharper, no one smarter, than F1's self-appointed fire fighter - the little guy who has trounced a major challenge to his power base by the car makers. As the GPMA shrivels, Bernie no doubt plots. But over what? Five F1 Racing writers check Bernie's future
There's no point in trying to play this straight. Ask Bernie Ecclestone about What Happens Next, and useful answers come there none. The man is an object lesson in evasiveness. It's therefore up to professional Bernie-watchers to do the digging. Five of the best analyse the Bernie method and media, his retirement and good works, and the Bernie legacy.

He loves winning, hates losing - and, like Michael Schumacher, will go to some lengths to stop other people from being successful, even if it means that he, too, fails to win.
