Default F1 boss Ecclestone attacked outside London office

F1 Boss Bernie Ecclestone attacked outside London office

suffered a minor head injury when he was attacked outside his London office this week and robbed of jewelry worth $314,000.

I wonder if Bernie had the Jaguar F1 diamond all along?

Don't know about the diamond, but one should be careful what one says...that comment about robbers looking out for the "soft and simple" is pretty ironic.

LOL saw this on jalponik and laughed at the irony. I wonder if someone read the comment and was staking out to get him.

Serves the troll right for talking crap about Button and the Sauber engineers after their incidents in Brazil. Too bad the muggers couldn't steal his F1 commercial rights.

yep! truly lucky. To be 80+ and have a 31 year old girlfriend

and I thought Flavio Briatore and Jean Todt were the lucky guys.

All said and done it was a terrible thing to happen to anyone, even if it was an ass like Bernie.
