Ecclestone was always a one trick pony , held in thrall by a sycophantic paddock because they all got rich on the back of his one ability - to cut a good deal. I've followed motorsport, including F1 for over 50 years, and not even once have I ever heard Ecclestone say anything remotely intelligent , let alone interesting.
His public utterances are invariably gnomic , mischievous , crass and/or idiotic . His pimping of F 1 around to whatever bent regime would enrich him the most was an enduring disgrace and his courting and praise of Putin have just confirmed his utter stupidity , and wilful ignorance of world affairs . Both men are enduring proof that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
