    Maybe Bernie has finally found an excuse not to keep the Brazilian GP on the calendar.
    He had complained about the poor facilities around the track in the past, the insecurity and the traffic to get to the circuit.

    Good advertising for the Olympics

    Just makes me want to get on the first plane to Rio. Oh wait....

    I hope it works out OK. It's horrible to use people that way. I imagine she had a strong security team. What happened to them?

    They should have kidnapped him and maybe we would be able to maintain the traditional circuits on the calendar.

    I'm leaning more towards thinking that the kidnappers have made a big mistake, and have just signed their own death warrants.

    I would not want to mess around with Sir Bernie.

    Inside job. Only way the MIL can pry a few bucks out of Bernie so she can get the hell out of Brazil.

    Interesting that she's 18 years YOUNGER than Bernie.

    She'll be free in 72 hours.

    My Father in law is 90. He's still sharp as a tack. He does not, however, have a mother in law.
