Quote from autosport, this is ridiculous but what do you expect from a team on a shoestring, the bit that got me was 'the teams can expect around an extra million pounds a year, whooppee do Ecclestone met with teams on Friday afternoon to inform them of the details of the deal - which could net each outfit a extra benefit of around £1 million per season over its duration - with the Sky/BBC deal bringing in around £55 million per year, compared to the estimated £40 million per season that BBC currently pays for exclusive rights. HRT team boss Colin Kolles said any F1 squads criticising Ecclestone for the move were wrong, because of the huge financial benefits the new deal brings to teams. "If you would ask my colleagues after the meeting with Bernie Ecclestone, everybody is very happy," Kolles told AUTOSPORT. "Bernie has shown again to his people, who are criticising him, what fantastic deals he has done.
But the financial downside is less viewers ergo less sponsors. HRT are happy because they dont have any sponsors anyway.
My uncle told me that he was talking to another HRT person at Turkey this year saying that Hamilton was complain about Backmarkers and Kolles said "I will shut that black **** up" I didn't think to much about it but know I get so angry!
Is there a more useless team principle than Colin Kolles? You knew when HRT came into F1 that they would struggle, because he was team principal.
