F1's boss was mugged outside his London office, and the muggers ran away with $300,000+ worth of jewelery. He used that to his advantage to make this ad:

Well done.

12/10/2010 5:07:37 PM

Sucks that he got mugged and all, but I fucking hate that asshole.

And not because he had the good idea to make money off of his own mugging.

Did the muggers give him that haircut too?

12/10/2010 5:50:06 PM

^^ why? i don't know much about him at all since i don't follow F1.

Violence and racism? Were they blacks?

That was Max Mosley, not this guy.

Turns out Bernie is no stranger to controversy himself:

Quote :

"Women as "domestic appliances" In 2005, when speaking about Indycar racer Danica Patrick, he remarked "You know I've got one of those wonderful ideas ... women should be dressed in white like all the other domestic appliances."[21] Ecclestone later called Patrick to apologize, but repeated his comments,[22] before apologizing a second time.[23] Earlier, in February 2000, he said that women would never excel in Formula One, stating "she would have to be a woman who was blowing away the boys. ... What I would really like to see happen is to find the right girl, perhaps a black girl with super looks, preferably Jewish or Muslim, who speaks Spanish."[21]"

Quote :

"Hitler controversy In a Times interview published on 4 July 2009, Ecclestone said "terrible to say this I suppose, but apart from the fact that Hitler got taken away and persuaded to do things that I have no idea whether he wanted to do or not, he was in the way that he could command a lot of people able to get things done." According to Ecclestone: "If you have a look at a democracy it hasn’t done a lot of good for many countries — including this one". He also said that his friend of 40 years Max Mosley, the son of British fascist leader Oswald Mosley, "would do a super job" as Prime Minister and added "I don’t think his background would be a problem."[24]"
