Bernie Ecclestone today said that motorsport chief Max Mosley - exposed as a fan of S&M sex with prostitutes - would have made a better prime minister than Tony Blair.
He said Mosley ‘would have liked a political position’ at the time six or seven years ago, adding: ‘He’s a good leader and he’d have been a bloody good prime minister.’
Most bizarrely, the F1 supremo compared Mosley to his notorious father, 1930s fascist leader Sir Oswald.
He would have fitted into the political spectrum ‘probably like his dad’, Mr Ecclestone said.
‘His father stood for what he thought was right at the time, whether it was right or wrong. Now we know. But at the time that was what his father thought, and he was committed to it.’
On his divorce, Mr Ecclestone said only that while he was tidy to the point of being ‘a bit rude’ to friends - whose crooked pictures he would straighten up - his ex-wife ‘isn’t a tidy person’.
He said little had changed in his life since his split with the Croatian ex-model, who is 28 years his junior - ‘It’s just that if I go home at night there’s nobody in the house.’
