“F1 Supremo sat under the learning tree of Enzo Ferrari“– Paul Ebeling
The former F1 boss, Bernie Ecclestone, 90 anni, says “Ferrari are Formula One“.
Mr. Ecclestone, often referred to as the F1 Supremo in his days running F1, served as Chief Executive of the Tier 1 motor sport for 40 yrs following a stint in charge of The Brabham Team in the 70’s and 80’s. He resigned his Chief Executive position in January 2017 after Liberty Media’s bought him out and took over ownership of the enterprise.
Mr. Ecclestone was controversial and out spoken during his yrs in Formula One but feels sometimes he was misunderstood.
“Sometimes I word things in such a way that they aren’t taken how I meant them to be,” he told a magazine reporter recently.
“I’ve got myself into a bit of trouble, but I can honestly say a person is a person to me.
“I take people as I see them. It doesn’t matter what color they are or whether they are a man or a woman, their religion or nationality, whether they are rich or poor, their politics. Look at me, I’m below average height but I don’t feel bad about it. I’m exactly the same as someone who’s taller.”
The man that Mr. Ecclestone has a super relationship with was the late Enzo Ferrari, founder of Ferrari.
The F1 World Championship was 1st held in Y 1950 and Ferrari have been part of each 1 ever since. In Mr. Ecclestone’s eyes, Ferrari simply are the core of F1 racing.
“Mr. Ferrari. He was very special and he helped me a lot,” explained when asked who he most admired.
“He taught me that the sport is on the table and the business is under it. Formula 1 is Ferrari and Ferrari is Formula 1. It’s that simple. Colin Chapman was another. He was a genius. A very quick driver too.”
When asked if there are any parts of F1 he misses, Mr. Ecclestone said: “I miss some of the deals, especially with the promoters at some of the circuits – a few might have gone under if we hadn’t been involved and helped a little – and the deals with some of the big sponsors, who have renewed for decades. I watch the races. And I still get the odd call for advice.”
