Ecclestone shares his views on strong leadership

Not sure if you saw this: some pretty shocking statements from sometime-Gstaad resident Bernie Ecclestone in an interview with The Times. The 78-year-old billionaire chastised contemporary politicians for their weakness and pandering and extolled the virtues of strong leadership, complimenting Adolf Hitler (and perhaps not coincidentally Max Mosley) for their ability to “get things done”. But read for yourself. Maybe we'll see him hiding in Gstaad soon if he keeps making statements like these. Not sure about the apology that followed... really, if you think, let alone say things like this as a public figure, why bother apologize? Perhaps he's a politician after all.

Having read this, I do not think this is the kind of person we like to see hiding in Gstaad. His money or fame do not make a difference.
