With the latest gaffes BE seems to have drawn the ire of some on the CVC board and there were calls for him to step down, especially given his age. Be it as it may, a biological solution will come sooner rather than later.
Who do you think will step into BE's shoes once he wanders off into the sunset? Flabio who used to be viewed as a contender for this role seems to be thoroughly out of the picture now (or is he?). Will it perhaps be a 'Second Triumvirate'-style administration like after Caesar's death?
What will happen to BE's empire? Again, will it go down the road and slowly (or not) disintegrate like the Roman Empire? Should F1 fans be worried about these or other prospects?
I'm sure Ewee will have a special take on these questions given his affinity with the old man

Funny you mention the Roman Empire as I think whom ever will take over his empire will be renamed Bernie just as Roman emperors called themselves Caesar

What a wonderfully macabre Topic.

I am sure that whatever happens the future of F1 is secure, hopefully the teams will have a larger say in things and we start to see the innovation that this sport deserves.

My worry is that Bernie with the help of evil boffins will find a way to live forever, we will never be rid of the b*stard

Your worst nightmare might not be Bernie continuing for the foreseeable future. Max is going to be looking for a new job soon.

What about Jean Todt. he knows his way around the paddock and I think I would prefer him to be part of CVC than to be head of the FIA

That's funny...

Wish I had an idea. Guess I'll just wait and see and watch for what you guys have to say...

Bernie's Bambino trust has a number of guarantees placed upon FOM and the CVC's investment... so he's still going to have a say from beyond the grave

Ewan will be the next Bernie Ecclestone.

Bernie the undead:

My Guess
Martion Borman, who has been living in South America for a while

[cap-dude]

Tamara Ecclestone will take over

Really I don't know what will happen when Bernie goes. CVC might just continue to run things as a company.
