WTF! Bernie Ecclestone says he would ‘take a bullet for Putin’

In 2019, the British billionaire said he felt the Russian president should be "running Europe".

Ex-Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has said he would “take a bullet” for Vladimir Putin in a shocking Good Morning Britain interview.

The British business mogul courted controversy earlier this year after he stepped in to defend the Russian leader following the invasion of Ukraine.

He described Putin as “honourable” and seemingly refused to criticise his decision to start a war in Eastern Europe.

Ecclestone told Times Radio: “As a person I found him [Putin] very straightforward and honourable.

“He did exactly what he said he was going to do without any arguments.”

The 91-year-old’s Putin loyalties date back to at least 2019, when he revealed in an interview with The Times that he felt the Russian should be “running Europe”.

The ex-F1 boss said: “He’s a good guy. He’s never done anything that isn’t doing good things for people.

“I would like him running Europe. We haven’t got anybody, so it couldn’t be any worse.”

His loyalties seemingly remain intact, despite the destruction and cost of life caused by the conflict in Ukraine.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
