Bernie has stuck his oar in saying that F1 is not the place to be developing new engine technology!!!!!

I suspect he is trying to help out his mates at RB or has been listening to Luca in Italy who currently have power units that are not as good as those from Mercedes.
I thought it was his job to promote F1 not denigrate it.
