Ecclestone claims support for spinkler idea

Bernie Ecclestone claims there is a 'surprising' amount of support for his idea of sprinklers being used to spice up the action in F1

"There's so much support because wet races are always the best by far.

"I thought maybe at the beginning it was a little crazy [to suggest the use of sprinkler systems on F1 tracks] but it's surprising how much support that idea is getting now.

"Providing we do it so nobody would know when it was going to happen, like when it rains, I think it would make for a lot of entertainment...."

Does this mean Bernie's personalities all are having conversations amongst themselves?

I still don't like the idea, yes you can have it by suprise but most things artificial are normally worse.

I'm still trying to come up with an exact figure as to how much money does it take to reach that level of "enlightenment" Bernie is experiencing. I mean Michael Jackson was there, Howard Hughes was there,Celine Dion there Liberace reached it coming out of his mother's uterus, same goes for Kim Jung il. Maybe it's not just money, perhaps it's adulation or just being able to surround yourself with yes men.

Uh...Support from whom Bernie? You're the only one I've heard supporting the idea.

[vlad]

No way this idea is created by a normal mind!

I was thinking the same.
Or maybe he's getting support from sprinkler manufacturers
