Formula 1 billionaire chief Bernie Ecclestone: “Hitler? He got things done”
Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone last night provoked outrage by praising the policies of Adolf Hitler in an extraordinary interview.
The 78-year-old billionaire criticised modern politicians as ‘weak’ and praised the former Nazi leader’s ability to ‘get things done’.
His comments provoked furious reaction from politicians and Jewish groups.
Ecclestone suggested in an interview with the Times that Hitler had ‘lost’ his way during his dictatorship, in which he started the Second World War and butchered six million Jews and other victims in concentration camps.
‘In a lot of ways, terrible to say this I suppose, but apart from the fact that Hitler got taken away and persuaded to do things that I have no idea whether he wanted to or not, he was in the way that he could command a lot of people, able to get things done,’ he said.
ALERT!!! White billionaire is praising Hitler! Someone get his phone number, email address, etc and contact him ASAP! Maybe he will fund/sponsorship the movement. I’m sure he’s not even aware of its existance.
‘In the end he got lost, so he wasn’t a very good dictator because either he had all these things and knew what was going on and insisted, or he just went along with it… so either way he wasn’t a dictator.’
Ecclestone also sharply criticised democracy claiming: ‘It hasn’t done a lot of good for many countries – including this one.’
The 5ft 4in billionaire, who is no stranger to controversy, also seemed to endorse governments based on tyranny. ‘Politicians are too worried about elections,’ he said. ‘We did a terrible thing when we supported the idea of getting rid of Saddam Hussein. He was the only one who could control that country. It was the same (with the Taleban).’
Ecclestone believes his fellow Formula One supremo Mosley would do a ’super job’ at leading Britain
The racing tycoon believes his fellow Formula One supremo Max Mosley, the son of Oswald Mosley, the former-leader of the British Union of Fascists, would be a good candidate to lead Britain. ‘Max would do a super job. He’s a good leader with people. I don’t think his background would be a problem.’
Ecclestone is not shy about using provocative language to get his point across. In 2008, he suggested that racist comments about British driver Lewis Hamilton were “started as a joke” – although he did say spectators who paint their face black were racist.
In June he said that Formula One needed a “black, Jewish woman who, if possible, wins some races.”

Mr Ecclestone’s remarks last night drew a strong reaction from Jewish groups and politicians.
Denis MacShane, the Labour MP and chairman of the all-party inquiry into anti-Semitism described Mr Ecclestone’s comments as ‘frightening’.
‘If Mr Ecclestone seriously thinks Hitler had to be persuaded to kill six million Jews, invade every European country and bomb London then he knows neither history and shows a complete lack of judgment,’ he said. ‘This contempt for the right of people to elect their own leaders is frankly frightening.’
John Whittingdale, the Tory chairman of the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, said: ‘These are extraordinary views and I’m appalled that anybody could hold them.
