F1 doesn't need fans according to Bernie
January 2015
Bernie Ecclestone has claimed Formula 1 is better off without having fans ruining the sport. In an attempt to further alienate himself from the common people and prove that he is a complete mental case, the F1 supremo has stated that Formula 1 should pretend the fans don’t exist at all and carry on making ridiculous rule changes in order to turn Formula 1 into the most pointless sport next to Baseball.
In a recent interview, he explained how Formula 1 doesn't need fans in order to survive and that the sport is better off with no one watching. He has put forward suggestions on ways to ensure no one watches the races by introducing silent cars, abolishing points, replacing trophies with medals made out of chocolate coins and banning any driver who attempts to overtake. He also thinks circuits should stop selling tickets to the fans in order to have empty grandstands at races, believing that fans bring him out in a rash.
"Formula 1 doesn't need fans. None of the idiots who watch this sport can afford the products being advertised on the cars anyway so why do they bother watching? I mean I only still go to the races so I can socialise with all the other rich people and boast about how I'm richer than them. I don't really care about the sport or the fans. Quite frankly they can all do one."
This revelation comes only days after he said he wants all the small teams who are struggling with money - like Caterham, Marussia and Sauber - to die in a pool of their own poverty.
