Spade_Cooley 9,530 Posted June 30, 2022 Fun-size 91-year-old motor racing magnate promises to "take a bullet for Vladimir Putin" in his latest TV interview. How long before a reunion with his old mucker Max? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,329 Posted June 30, 2022 I wonder if it is early signs of dementia watching the video.I know he has always held abnoxious views but the loss of filter makes me wonder .I mean dementia at 91 isn't uncommon and that was a rambling unfiltered rant.Either that or he is just so old rich and retired so doesn't give a shit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I.R.Baboon 221 Posted June 30, 2022 He sure is Deathlist-material. His remarks remind me of Johannes Heesters, who was interviewed just before his 105th birthday and said Adolf Hitler was a kind guy. Trying to tone it down by saying 'well, to me he was' didn't really work out. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trying to tone it down by saying 'well, to me he was' didn't really work out. To be honest I always thought that was a bit unfair to Heesters.. The question he was asked (in Dutch, a language he no longer spoke well after so many years in Germany) was about what Hitler was like personally. He wasn't asked about his views on the nazi era, but about what Heesters thought of him when he met Hitler back then.. It really feels like a setup when you watch the clip. What a trainwreck of an interview with Ecclestone. Holy shit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Daredevil 1,189 Posted October 15, 2022 Is currently expected to face a 400 million fraud charge next year. I can definitely see Ecclestone as a 2023 DL candidate, and with all this stress he must be facing at his advanced age, maybe he would not be as lazy a pick, as I had previously thought.

Yer man's 93 in 16 days, I'm thinking the Ernest Saunders defence beckons, pre-Alzheimers, or summat where he's not exactly the full blown medical problem but he's unfit to face the charges. Oh, on second thoughts, scrub that - he's copped and agreed to pay according to BBC, so a hefty £653 million is incoming to the national coffers, they could - like - build a few hospitals, or summat: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67088503 Whilst we're on that subject, Saunders wiki page has brief details of the entertaining shenanigans regarding his brain problems that attended his trial, oh aye, and...he's 88 in a few days and remains obitable as fuck: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Saunders 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted October 12, 2023 I think he should be locked up, just for the goatee if nothing else. Agree that he looks about as vulnerable as a lorry load of gravel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should make 95 without any issues (barring assassination) A friend of mine is very deep in the racing world, to the point where his grandfather is great friends of Mario Andretti and said grandpa used to know all kinds of big name celebrity racers back in the 50s and 60s. My friend has extensive connections, work and personal, throughout F1 and NASCAR as a result of his family and his various employment over the years. Apparently Bernie is mentally and physically sharp, at least when I asked my mate about it 10 minutes ago. Schumacher on the other hand... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
