Compare the Turkish Grand prix - the Istanbul circuit is prepared to pay Mr Ecclestone what he wants, but it attracts fewer spectators than its capacity on a race day - with Silverstone.
Silverstone attracts huge crowds, but not enough of that money goes into Mr Ecclestone's pocket - so Silverstone is slated to be dumped as the venue for the British Grand Prix.
But he asserts that the current situation with the teams is none of his business, being purely down to the FIA?
How on earth a world wide sport can end up being influenced so much by persons arguably so far past their 'sell by' date is tragic - especially when it seems to have involved ignoring the true 'establishment' of the sport embodied in the BRDA & FOTA???
