You need nerves of steel to take on Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone. Here he talks about Max Mosley, those controversial comments about Hitler and still being in love with his former wife . . .

Bernie Ecclestone : 'What Hitler did was at best disgusting. And unnecessary. What happened up until 1939 was, probably, good for the country'

Bernie Ecclestone seems a nice bloke, at first. He's chatty and witty, nothing like you'd expect from his reputation as the Napoleon of Formula 1, a tiny control freak with a tight grip on the loudest, flashiest sport in the world. Until he gets heavy.

'Let me have a look before you publish, will you?' . . .
