Bernie Ecclestone has backed Kimi

itv source:

http://www.itv-f1.com/news/news_story/19757

wowho Bernie Ecclestone said his money is on kimi, which means that Kimi has a real chance of winning the WDC this year.

remember he owns F1, so he knows how to make it happen


GOGO Kimi!!!

Michael Schumacher isn't good for the sport anymore so business-wise it't not suprising the boss responsible for this acted on this..

Indeed, it would be stupid to discount Michael, as it would Juan Pablo.

This years title will be between MS, JPM and KR

Prior to recent probs with the McLaren I thought the smart money would be on Kimi too but now I'm not so sure.

The McLaren ran reliably in testing today, so keep the faith.

Anyway - reading the full article Bernie praises Kimi, Michael, Juan Pablo, Fernando and Jenson.

Bernie is very good at guessing the winner of races. I think he developed an extremely good strike rate when asked on Martin Brundle's grid walk. And he more often than not choses Michael.

In the past few years chances are you'd be right more often than not if you picked him.

Well, i liked to edge my bets

The thing is, i honestly don't see anyone else capable of getting the job done at the moment. (given the machinery some of them have, and i don't see Rubens, Rafe or DC as likely to get the job done)

Yes. Uncle Bernie admit that.

"I would put my money on Kimi to be the champion," said Ecclestone. "There's Michael, who is always there – obviously. Montoya, probably if he sort of quietens down a little bit. Obviously he is going to be a contender and could also win the championship.

Actually Bernie said: "I'd like Schuey to win, but I reckon Kimi will".
Thus he's been very acrobatic: as we say in Italy: giving one blow to the hoop and one to the barrel.

Just wonder what will JPM and FW think about it

Well, this is Sir Frank's reaction:

"Leaving aside our drivers, I would say Michael [is the favourite] and maybe Alonso - the Renault is a very impressive car," Williams said.

Kimi now has the backing of the big guy. Expect another nail-biter with a different outcome in 2004.
