Earlier in the month, Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone dismissed the financial troubles of three of the smaller teams competing in F1 – Force India, Lotus and Sauber – by comparing them to beggars and ladies with credit cards. Ecclestone apologized for referring to the teams as beggars but made no such withdrawal of the ladies with credit card comparison [which Lotus confirmed with their recent release of a video of on eof their trucks jumping off a ramp over one of their cars].
Meanwhile, Nico Rosberg won another pole – his 11th of the year – with a 0.4-second advantage over his Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton and will start at the front of tomorrow’s season finale in Abu Dhabi.
The final race of the 2014 Formula One racing season takes place in Abu Dhabi on November 23, 2014.
