Well I will just Tam's childish accusation besmiching Jackie Stewart's reputation. If Jackie was the guy signing the loans that were bad with RBS, he would deserve it but not for being basically a pitchman. Why don't you blame him for Ford having economic problems too? He test drives cars for them on occasion....
Back to the reality. Jackie hits it on the head. Bernie takes all the money for basically being the middle man between the teams and the promotors. He sucks money from both, sets up all deals to funnel money into his bank account and in the end, gives nothing of value to the sport.
He negotiates TV rights and decides who gets races. That's it......and yet he sucks back more than a third of the money. F1 isn't that exciting or healthy that it needs more of this. At some point...people may wake up to the fact there are other forms of racing to watch on this planet and maybe f1 wont be so healthy.
