A letter to Bernie Ecclestone
While others simply take shots at how F1 is run at the moment, DIETER RENCKEN believes it is time to outline how to actually fix the problems behind the scenes, explained here in a letter for F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone
Dear Bernie
As you may know, it was this time last year that I had a brief chat with Donald Mackenzie, founding partner and co-chairman of CVC Capital Partners, your employer. During our discourse, Donald suggested that I wrote "a lot of bullshit".
He was clearly referring to the fact that I constantly criticised Formula 1's financial and governance structures. I won't belabour the discussion as it was revealed here in an open letter to the man half the paddock consider to be your boss - although, I hasten to add, an equal number believe you to be master of F1.
