Bernie’s “Back to the Future” team “gets things done”
Team Bernie wins Berlin GP 1937
Having successfully created Formula 1’s first “back to the future” open wheeled racer, Bernie Ecclestone entered a team into the Berlin Grand Prix in 1937 and promptly showed Hitler how to “get things done” by beating the streamlined Mercedes Benz W125 “silver arrows”. Team Bernie entered four cars (to match the Germans) driven by Scot David Coulthard, Finn Mikka Haakinen, Brazilian Ruebens Barrichello, and German Michael Schumacher, and after taking four of the first six places the team supremo stated:
“I’m delighted, that showed that we know how to get things done, and it’s great to have a little dictator at the helm of the team, so that my direct decisions can have ultimate influence on the sport”.
Race winner Schumacher said:
“Bernie, I can see my house from here”
German Script Association writer Gunther Pencilhoffen remarked:
“This team arrived from some place in the future, there is no doubt that the cars are good but let’s be honest these guys are all a bit barmy, just look at the suits they are wearing. Anyway, so far as we are able to learn, anyone who has tried to donate his fortune away to Britain’s Labour Party of the future, with it’s war mongering leader Blair, has to be as nutty as a fruitcake.”
