Says Bernie Ecclestone
Bernie Ecclestone says Formula One would cope without current superstar Michael Schumacher.
In fact, the Grand Prix supremo asserts in the German Sport Bild magazine that - should Schumacher retire soon - the paddock would claim a successor in a mere `two or three races’.
``No driver, no person, will ever be bigger than Formula One itself,`` said the 75-year-old.

Bernie singles out rookie Nico Rosberg, as well as hopefuls Nelson Piquet Jr and Heikki Kovalainen, as contenders for the label of future superstar.

Interestingly, Ecclestone didn`t mention Kimi Raikkonen, or reigning Champion Fernando Alonso. But the Supremo lambasts the latter Spaniard`s future McLaren boss, Ron Dennis, for `stupidly` deceiving Flavio Briatore in the controversial 2007 switch.
