FORMULA One has taken on the role and responsibilities of 'Odessa', the support network for fugitive Nazis, it was claimed last night.
Officials at the Simon Wiesenthal Centre said their suspicions were raised when no Jewish drivers were included for the 59th year in a row, as well as the fact that F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone seems to love Hitler.
A spokesman said: "The leading team is called 'Brawn'. This is clearly an Anglified version of 'Braun', or as it would be in Germany, 'Von Braun'.
"They have taken their V2 rocket-building skills and created what is obviously a violently anti-semitic racing car."
He added: "We now believe the 'Boys from Brazil' was a secret project to clone not only Hitler, but Nelson Piquet and Ayrton Senna. The result was Rubens Barrichello. It didn't work."
Ecclestone has been under pressure in recent months following his divorce from his massive, Aryan wife, while a group of F1 teams have threatened to set up a break- away series known as the 'Master Races'.
But friends of Ecclestone rejected the claims, insisting he admires all kinds of dictators, not just Hitler.
One friend added: "The thing you have to remember about Bernie is that he's very, very small."
International motorsport boss Max Mosley said he would consider the claims as soon as he had finished having his bare buttocks thrashed by a gang of whores who spoke German but were obviously not Nazis.
