Bernie a Luca: "Gracias por poner los payasos"
Publicado: 05 Oct 2008 12:10
Dadas las fuertes declaraciones del presidente de Ferrari, Luca di Montezemolo, que entre muchas otras cosas dijo que Singapore fue un circo y que ojalá el otro año tengan una Disneylandia en vez de F1, Bernie responde:
Ecclestone fires back at 'circus' jibe
Thanks Montezemolo for providing 'clowns'

Bernie Ecclestone, the chief mastermind of the night racing concept for F1, has hit back at Ferrari boss Luca di Montezemolo's claim that the Singapore Grand Prix was akin to a "circus."
Also lashing out at the lack of overtaking opportunities at new street circuits, and the farcical Safety Car rules, Montezemolo said last week that "all this is humiliating for F1."
But Ecclestone, F1's chief executive, hinted to Britain's Mail on Sunday newspaper that the attack by Montezemolo was perhaps to divert attention from Ferrari's woeful showing under the city-state's floodlights.
"If the Ferrari President is right about the Singapore Grand Prix being a circus," he said, "then we have to be grateful to him for providing the clowns."
The 77-year-old is undoubtedly referring to title rival Felipe Massa's botched pitstop, when the Brazilian ripped the fuel hose from the rig and pulled it the entire length of the pitlane.
Ecclestone continued to fire: "After the weekend Ferrari had, their President should have shut up and kept his head down. If Massa loses the World Championship, he will know the team were responsible."
The British billionaire also slammed Ferrari's unique pitstop gantry lights system, used instead of a traditional lollipop, as "over the top."
"Why do you want to have some other piece of technology that can go wrong?" Bernie wondered.

No lo encontré en español, pero básicamente le agradece a Ferrari por aportar los payasos y dice que después del fin de semana que tuvo Ferrari, su presidente debió haberse quedado callado, ya que si Massa pierde el campenato Ferrari será el responsable. Añade que para qué usar el sistema de pits automatizado ya que es otro elemento tecnológico que puede fallar.
