Eccelstone personnaly paid the 400 Lotus employee's wages for last month

The last few months have been particularly troubling as the team has effectively been in a state of financial lockdown due to a period of due diligence on the deal.
Here is another gem from that article. They may not be in as bad of financial trouble as it seems, they are financially frozen due to the pending renault deal. It may not be they don't have funding, the accounts are just frozen.

 

Hard to run races and convince suppliers to front you parts while things get worked out. Some may be willing to do that, others not so much.

 

This does not fit into my closely held belief that Bernie Ecclestone is a giant piece of crap. So, I choose to ignore it.

 

He's not a giant piece of crap. He's actually quite a small fellow.

 

Eccelstone is definitely not a giant piece of crap

The guy is a midget

Fernando Alonso & Jenson Button given grid penalties at Monza , both to start from the back of the grid

They might as well stop wasting time qualifying and just start from pit road every race....

 

I definitely know what you are saying, but they need the practice time for both chassis and engine. At least they don't have to start from farther away, like somewhere in France.

 

Grid penalties enforced, will start Monza from Spa.

 

They are just using the loophole to add engines to their allotment at a race they have no chance at looking forward to races that suit their car more

 

Yeah, I know the reason, I'm just tired of seeing them so far back. I want to see them competitive, both drivers deserve that.
