“It is not good for the sport,” the 78-year-old went on, speaking to the Daily Mail. “It all seems very strange to me, but I do not know the truth. You hear of these things happening with jockeys and in football and it has led to all sorts of trouble. People seem to be spending money betting on F1 which is good, but they will not want to do that if they think something is wrong with the result.”
“This is not the sort of thing we need at the moment,” Formula One Management (FOM) chief executive Ecclestone told British newspaper The Times, adding that his QPR co-owner Briatore is 'well-and-truly upset' by the scandal. “I think it will p*ss off Renault for a start. Them leaving the sport is a danger, obviously. I mean, I hope that it isn't like that, but it's the sort of thing that might happen.
“What I know, I can't say, to be honest with you. All I know is that Flavio is insisting that he knows nothing about it. I think the FIA are looking into everything. They are trying to find out the reality. I suppose they would be upset if they found out that what people are assuming is true, is in fact true.”
