I don't often agree with Lewis but he nailed on the head earlier this week, STOP GIVNG THEM THE PLATFORM and let's all move on from the idiots. We have new idiots to deal with thank you

Back in his pomp, it used to be said that you could put all the people who had got one over on BE into a phonebox and still have plenty of room. Today you could say the same that would agree with his opinions.

Back in the day BE used to come out with some off the wall comments as a diversion tactic to stop people actually talking about the latest F1 drama or court case. No, it appears by most people measure and most of the world leaders, that he is deluded.

When even Piers Morgan is able to put him in his place, you can tell Bernie has lost the plot. He's not even able to buy himself time with a quick rejoinder anymore

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.
