- Bernie Ecclestone #13 in The Times List of the "Sporting Power 100...The most influential people in British sport today.".
List from 100-1..."#13....Bernie Ecclestone - Chief executive, Formula One Wily, mischievous, funny and something of a genius, nobody seems to have told Ecclestone that he is 78. He still thinks he is 30 and is determined to go on running the show. Criticised for running a sport that is too extravagant and not exciting enough, yet it enjoyed massive audiences last year. Could face his biggest test yet with the recession biting and teams forming a united front to demand more money from the little emperor of F1. Joint ownership of Queens Park Rangers no more than a distraction for now..." Entire 100 Listing.
