Ecclestone – Force of Nature

Organisers of the Bahrain Grand Prix, revealed on Sunday that Formula One Management has ordered the promoters to arrange for McLaren to be housed next to Force India, the local newspaper Gulf Daily News said.

Whilst Bernie Ecclestone agreed to spare McLaren the indignity of also having the farthest pit slots, his reneging on the deal has compelled the Bahrain group to issue a statement of force majeure; a common clause in contracts which essentially frees both parties from liability or obligation when an extraordinary event or circumstance beyond the control of the parties, such as war, strike, riot, crime or an act of nature.

Eccleston’s morphological development now renders him eligible to nudge pestilence from the “big three” natural disasters - although will face a tough stand-off with neoliberalism if he’s to get his way.
