It is a sad indictment of our sport that one of the main stories is Bernie being willing to sell his shares in QPR, Queens Park Rangers soccer team. QPR have had moments of success, but have always been the bridesmaid to other London teams like Tottenham and Arsenal, and lately Chelsea. As always Bernie will make money on the deal.
Joe Saward poses the interesting question about Bernie having been the subject of extortion by Gribkowsky. This is the latest version of where the $50m, or $40m, whichever the story, came from. Bernie has been cooperating with the German Authorities, and if true could get his money back. The question Joe poses is, what did Gribkowsky know about Bernie that made him pay up? As he says, the Authorities may not care, but a journalist somewhere will.
Tony Fernandes confirms the Caterham purchase amid rumors that he will change the name of the F1 Team if he loses the court case, the decision on which we are still waiting to hear. The Caterham has a lineage that goes back to the start of Lotus, beginning life as a barely legal road car you built out of a kit called the Lotus 7. Without any need for a connection to F1, Tony has made a very smart move to bring low cost sports cars and weekend race cars to the far east. Here is a man building the sport and the business for the long haul.
