Dec.17 (GMM) Bernie Ecclestone has revealed a mischievous sense of humour with his latest annual Christmas card.
The F1 supremo traditionally prepares a personalised Christmas card for his friends and closest colleagues, and veteran journalist Roger Benoit - known for his long and close relationship with Ecclestone - has described this year's edition in the Swiss newspaper Blick.
On the front is a cartoon featuring Ron Dennis quivering in fear at a gift-wrapped box, bearing the Prancing Horse logo, being offered to him by Mike Coughlan.
"Sorry, I can't accept, try the conventional way," the cartoon-version of Dennis is quoted as telling Coughlan, as satellite dishes mounted on the Ferrari and McLaren factories communicate with each other.
Peering from behind Coughlan's back, meanwhile, is Nigel Stepney, the sacked source of the 780-page Ferrari dossier that earlier this year sparked the unprecedented Spygate saga.
