Former supremo says he would move away from the internal combustion engine.
Bernie Ecclestone may have been to more Formula One grands prix than any man alive but if the former supremo could shed the years and start over, he says he would probably embrace electric.
Moved aside in 2017 when U.S.-based Liberty Media took control, and given the title of chairman emeritus, he will not be in Shanghai. Yet to attend a race this year, missing Bahrain after being laid low by a bout of food poisoning, he remains sceptical about whether China is really the 1,000th Formula One Grand Prix.
"Maybe Casablanca where Mike won the championship and Stuart Lewis-Evans got badly burnt and subsequently died. That was a bad race. There's been lots of races like that," he said when asked which ones stood out.Poker face "When I bought Brabham, in one of the very first meetings I went to, they asked me would I look after things because they knew I was a good used car dealer, so maybe I'd be the right guy," he said."That's when it all started really."
