Although mentioned in another thread, I felt this warranted a thread of it's own:

I've got a feeling that this season is going to eclipse the politics of even the past couple of years - even by Bernie's standards, this is pretty strongly worded:

If they come in here with a gun and hold it to my head, they had better be sure they can f***ing pull the trigger, and they should make sure it’s got bullets in it because, if they miss, they better look out.

I just hope the sport can come out the other side of the increasingly open FIA+FOM/FOTA war in a healthy state...
