Formula One puts brakes on Bernie: F1 blasts Ecclestone over 'very stark contrast' to sport's values after billionaire ex-boss said he'd take a BULLET for Putin and backed Nelson Piquet in Lewis Hamilton N-word racism row



n a bizarre interview on Good Morning Britain, former Formula 1 owner Bernie Ecclestone, 91, branded 69-year-old dictator Vladimir Putin a 'first class person' and 'sensible.' It comes after reports of Russian attacks on apartment buildings and shopping malls in Ukraine, the latter of which was branded a war crime by western leaders. Despite the tens of thousands of innocent civilians feared dead in the eastern European country, Ecclestone branded Putin a 'sensible person.' Speaking from a sunny rooftop in Ibiza, Ecclestone also took a shot at Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, saying he was a comedian before the war and appeared to 'want to continue being one.' The billionaire then insisted the invasion 'could have ended differently' if Zelensky had 'talked with Putin'. When pressed by journalist Kate Garraway, who asked if he believed a change in Zelensky's actions, rather than Putin's, could have avoided war, Ecclestone replied: 'Absolutely.'
