Ecclescake: suspicions aroused.
Batty Formula 1 supremo™ Bernie EcclescakeECCLESTONE, BERNIE
 Bernie and Slavica Ecclestone: it's hard to say who looks more uncomfortable. F1 supremo Bernard Charles Ecclestone owns various bits of Formula One and has done since the 1970s, all of which has made him a very rich man. He also co-owns QPR Football Club, which does at least demonstrate that not all his decisions are spot-on. In his time, Ecclestone has managed drivers, owned teams, sold TV rights he probably didn't have in the first place and married someone 28 years younger and 28cm taller than him. He has also developed a slightly bewildering antipathy towards Silverstone.
"FOTA, as any fule kno," said the diminutive billionaire, "is the Formula Three Association, see? So they really shouldn't be in F1 at all, I mean, what were they thinking? Jeez!"
FOTA 'representative' Peter Briggs reacted swiftly to the man they don't call Shorty.
"I don't know how we haven't been found out before," he said, "but it is a shame, as we hadn't quite managed to implement our devious masterplan to make F1 more exciting by encouraging closer racing, promoting overtaking, and putting bizarre pod things on the side of the engine cover.
"I think we were only spotted thanks to the sponsor logos on our truck in the F1 paddock.
"And we would have got away with it too if it wasn't for this meddling kid."
