Default Bernie's Blunders

http://www.planetf1.com/story/0,1895...637955,00.html

"It was unfortunate. But the generated publicity was so much... It was good for Formula 1," he told Brazilian newspaper Folha de São Paulo.

"It is a pity that we had to lose to Ayrton, but it happened. People who did not know anything about the sport knew more about Formula One because of the interest his death generated."

It's reasons like this why you want Vatanen to win the FIA Presidency.

Does the FIA president have the power to stop Bernie saying stupid things?

It was a dumb thing to say in public, but he is probably right.

I agree in that I would like to see Vatanen win the FIA Presidential election.

In the (perhaps unlikley) event that this happens it will not impact on Bernie's ability to make stupid comments.
