Ecclestone loses his wheels
Ecclestone loses his wheels
March 28, 2005 15:51 IST
Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone lost his wheels at the weekend after thieves struck outside his London home.
British newspapers reported on Monday that the British billionaire's new silver Mercedes had been jacked up and left on two wheels.
"It's a real nuisance. It was only the first night I had the car," Ecclestone told the Daily Telegraph after the theft early on Saturday morning. "They probably think they can sell the wheels and make some money, but they probably can't."
The Times said the car, a CLS55 AMG V8, was the first of its kind in Britain.
It had been an eventful week already for Ecclestone, 74, whose Formula One Administration (FOA) company reached an out-of-court settlement with three banks in a legal battle for control of the sport.
One of the banks, BayernLB, said later that Ecclestone had effectively given in to all their demands.

Orazio Satta Puliga, one of the most important figures in Italian motorcar history to say:
"Alfa is a unique way of living and feeling a car. There is no definition that explains what Alfa really is. You can compare it with those irrational emotions, that sometimes have a human spirit, for which it is impossible to find a logical explanation. We are in the domain of feelings, passion of things that are closer to a man's heart than his brain."

Now that wouldn't be any fun now would it  and IMO general is more appropiate secton anyway as this is not directly linked to the discussion of the sport, just about a guy who is famous for running the sport

it's a bit of a grey area, but I agree with AL123, this is more a 'general' thing than F1 specific news , and as his topic was first
