I’ll say one thing for Bernie Ecclestone: he may be a greedy, ruthless, vindictive, amoral little shit and a panderer to tyrants; but as far as I know, he’s never come out with any self-serving pablum about how Formula One brings the world together in peace and harmony, and thus promotes understanding and brotherhood amongst all mankind.
Unlike FIFA and the IOC.
Which doesn’t make him any less of a foul-smelling turd, but at least he isn’t a hypocrite about it.
