A lot of F1 talk but also some of QPR, an interesting quote here:

He has made a reluctant advance on football. In the colourful company of Flavio Briatore, now banned from Formula One, and Lakshmi Mittal, one of the world's richest men who is apparently worth £19bn, Ecclestone now owns QPR. "It's something I got involved in," he sighs, "not out of choice. I'm probably going to be even more involved shortly. It's a task that needs getting on with."

More involved?

Old BBC site involved ? ? ? ?

Funnily enough exactly the same thought went through my head. It's the kind of thing Bernie would be involved in.

I dont know how much money he has put in to us ,but with his contacts he may not have to spend any more to get a good return on selling loftus road and the Rs having a new ground payed for by the Mittals.

says all the right things doesnt he?;

Does he have any enthusiasm for QPR? "Not at all. Of course I can pull out – but there are lots of things that could and should be done there. It's mainly commercial things and for me to see if we can get that working better. Once you get me involved that's it. I'm there."

And QPR are top of the Championship. "Yeah, it's good. Super, super, super. We can only go down from here."

Oooh, a new arena stadium, and a race circuit around the oval shaped roof ! cheers Bernie.
