indeed, and on that note...
BBC News - Formula 1 boss Ecclestone indicted on bribery charge
Best part of the article,
haha! wait, what the hell does that even mean?!?
"So yeah you see, that $44million bribe had NOTHING to do with the Formula 1 deal, it was only a $44million bribe to avoid a tax evasion charge. So we're cool, right??"
umm, yeah... I guess??
BBC News - Formula 1 boss Ecclestone indicted on bribery charge
Best part of the article,
Mr Ecclestone denies bribing Gribkowsky, and says the money was intended to stop the banker from exposing him to a UK tax inquiry...
"The only alternative was that the British tax authorities followed a case that would have been very expensive for me," said Ecclestone at the time.
"The tax risk would have exceeded £2bn. I paid him to keep calm and not to do silly things."

Kobayashi to replace Massa at Ferrari? I think the odds are pretty slimmed now.
