The Problem within British Motorsport?

We are all aware that there is a problem in sustaining British Motorsport.... in filling the grids and and finding the marshals.

HAS BERNIE ECCLESTONE 'HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD' WHEN HE SAID THAT " It is run by a gentlemens club ! ) ?

johnw should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Depends on who you think is "running" it, I guess?

When British Motorsport falls completely under Jonathan Palmer's control maybe things will be better?

The problem, I suspect, is that no-one is running all of it, and no-one is prepared to stand up and be counted. So lots of people are running bits of it to keep going for the time being, with no long-term planning, no view of the overall picture and no responsiblilty for anything. the buck, like a Silverstone Hare, doesn't have the faintest idea where to stop.

Anyway, how would Bernie Ecclestone recognise a gentleman?
