| F1: Russia set to announce race from 2014 |

At a meeting with F1 Supremo™ Bernice 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.
The agreement, already becoming known as the "Tupolev Tu-144 Agreement", means that Russia will officially join a growing list of pointless annual announcements from the world of F1, which currently includes Ecclescake's own "The British Grand Prix doesn't have to be held at Silverstone, or even in Britain really, you know", Jake Vileknave's "I've got unfinished business in F1" and David Coldtyres's "This will be my year" (ret'd).
