I didn't know if I should have supplied the AUTOSPORT link in the Ferrari F138 thread - or put it here.
Nevertheless, Ecclestone says that he's not sure whether Ferrari weren't competitive because of him - or because the guys making the car didn't do a good job.
The exact quote was:
"I don't know whether the team is not competitive because of him or because the people running the team aren't getting the job done."
It's really strange for someone with that much power to come out and say what he did.
Here is the link:

What do people think? Should Ecclestone be even saying such things? It's not as if he's got access to Ferrari data, is it?
[On second thought, he could be saying that perhaps the team (and not the F138) wasn't successful because of Fernando - or perhaps the people running things (as opposed to the designers of the F138 itself) created the environment for the lack of success.]
Perhaps Ecclestone might be talking about the 'team' as opposed to the F138?
