There would be no F1 without the genius of Mr Ecclestone. So Mr Ecclestone thank you for your wonderful life's work. Hopefully your successors don't mess up.
My Dad always likes to tell this story about how in 1972, Bernie Ecclestone (Brabham owner), came nosing around in the BRM pits. My Dad told him to "F*** off !". Bernie went to the Team Boss and said "Your mechanic just told me to f*** off !". To which the Team Boss said "And did you ?". 😀
F1 wouldnt be what it is today, for better or worse because of him. He definitely did a lot for the sport. But its like making a deal with the devil. His motivations were always the priority. Hes definitely done some things to hurt the sport as well. Appreciate what hes done, but with always with a pinch of salt.
I am Thai and I didn't even know anything about F1 but after the news broke out about Lewis to Ferrari, got me researching the whole past events, scandals and tips of the iceberg stuffs. Thank you for making a video like this it helps me understand more about this beautiful sport.
You missed the very start of his career when at 16 years old he worked in a lab in a gasworks in south east London, managed by my grandfather. Eventually my grandfather had to fire him for stealing wheelbarrows full of coal from the plant. From there he went on to deal in motorcycle parts.
Ecclestone's rise and rise of story would make a great TV mini series. But ffs don't let netflix make it. Like him or not. he had charisma in bucket loads. And his story is hella interesting.
He was also a crook and did some very bad deals to further his own interests. His attitude towards drivers that if they did not like it they could be replaced, it is not Bales-tray it is very annoying in this video listen to Ayrton Sennas perfect pronunciation. It is sad to see it go from the pioneers like Frank Williams and Ken Tyrell to the elitist sport it is today. I started watching it in 1979 at age ten when they could really race and it was incredibly dangerous but for drivers then it was the allure of it. I will never forgive Bernie for not stopping the Imola race weekend in 1994 when Martin Brundle found out he had been driving past a massive pool of Ayrton Senna’s blood he was sickened. Also he misled Senna.s brother and he was banned from the funeral they never forgave him. He sold out the true fans by making it pay for view of which I was one for many years. The only reason I really got back into it was Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen, the latter as he is so like the young Senna I grew up watching. Liberty Media are going to ruin it and the mystique of the drivers has gone they are too over exposed except Max as he, like Senna likes to get on and race and keep his private life private. Bernie Ecclestone was a ruthless and mean team boss though they laugh about it now Nelson Piquet was so frustrated by the time he left Brabham in 85. Also Bernie’s support for Putin is odd but yes as you say the man is a legend! ❤😂😮
@@supertouring22that is not true without Bernie someone else would have come along, I think his lust for power and money and taking it away from its roots has been detrimental in some ways. I hate a lot of these boring tracks the European season of old was so exciting I lost a lot of love for it when money corrupted like it same as the Premier League. It is now so elitist it was built on the dreams of the independents. I was a huge admirerer of Ken Tyrell and Frank Williams, when you read how they ended up as team owners and their own attempts at racing glory. I look back more with fondness of the 80s and the turbos than I do of track limits, silly rules and miss the real characters. Liberty media will ruin it eventually.
Loving this channel!! I was so heart broken that the race recap channel is so new.. I was ready to binge hundreds of videos but instead you got my sub haha. Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot mate ❤️ My next recap video will be ready in the next few days, and my goal would be to post at least 1 video per week, but it is still a bit complicated for the time being, hopefully, if I have a bit more spare time, I will be able to post more frequently🤞🏻
The way I see it: Without Bernie Ecclestone, there would have been at least one other (probably several) formula series that would have filled that gap and provide top-notch racing, and probably a more healthy situation for motorsports as a whole. The drive for that was clearly there in the 1970s, just look at the success of Formula 3/2 and the lower-end series like Formula Vee, Formula Ford in the 70s... It was a more diverse and open landscape, with pilots often switching vehicles and simply taking part in lower race classes just for the fun, or switching between formula and touring cars, or even taking part in Rallye - guess how exciting that must have been; when Jochen Rindt or Jim Clark did that, they also didn't always win, as other people had more experience with their local track and the lower-class cars - so there was the very real chance that an upcoming talent beats a reigning F1 champion in a fair competition! However, what the little guy here did was basically lock everyone in who wanted anything to do with F1 by successively exclusive contracts or ever-increasing influence in their core business, and in particular take advantage of good-natured guys who just wanted to race or run such race events - there is just about no way to make money by hosting an F1 event as a track, they are all getting basically extorted by F1 with the exception of Monaco, after also having been forced by F1 to do costly remodelling that doesn't work for anything else but F1 events. Similar situation for private teams, it's next to impossible to do well financially unless you have a very very big supporter paying the bills for years (and even then, probably not much more than breaking even). The situation Mr. Ecclestone was very "helpful" in creating was the illusion of shared success, basically sweettalking people into exploding costs that simply weren't sustainable on it's own, and which benefitted no motorsports application other than F1. While at the same time defrauding people left, right and center (and I do mean defraud, as in not paying agreed-upon millions just because he figured he could get away with it). His contribution was mostly rules that benefitted not motorsports as a whole but only his brand F1 - including killing off other "competing formats" such as Group C racing. Incidentially, that is a rather common theme I hear - perhaps you can prove me wrong, but it often seems to me that F1 people have no interest whatsoever in any other form of motorsports, so other classes suffering simply doesn't affect them (except of course through indirect ways such as fan-favorite mainstay tracks closing down and/or getting replaced in the calendar with some sterile promotional tool track, as the "normal" racetracks simply cannot pay their bills through the year). At least that's how it seems at times.
And no mention of all his legal issues. If the German court had found him guilty he had a jet warmed-up and ready to take him to Brazil where he would be safe from extradiction since his new bride was Brazilian.
Before buying the TV rights Ecclestone proposed F1 teams to join the forces and buy it together... they all refused... now with Netflix it will slowly die as another "big brother" type show
I saw Bernie and Max Moseley kissing after the Hungarian Gran Prix years ago. They were off on their own in the driver's/family/VIP parking lot and I had left something in the car. Later on, a large man came to tell me that "chatty mouths make for dead ones." Now that Bernie is dead, I can finally tell the story.
As mych as for years i didn't wanted to say, but Liberty Media isn't better than Bernie. Both did good thinks for the sport by helping it expand, but both are still greedy and will do anything for money
Bernie should not having a big mistake, Massa he stool his WC! I hope it still can be correct, because steeling a WC from a driver is horrible. Yes, he put out the manager of Alonso, a terrible guy. (Wich iss the manager from Alonso a maffia guy, Alonso I do not like for that reason to say it soft).
Used to love F1. Now?.......Haven't watched a race for years.......lost interest........too much c-rap going on with the hybrid s-hit. I want raw, knuckle-white, exciting sport that it used to be. Now its just boring statistics........All the best....

Bernie enters the chat:
Super interesting of a shady 🐀 man
There's a fantastic mini series where he's talking to camera about his career
@@Jacob-jo4pxwhere is this available? I’ve been looking for it
When it comes to safety; It's always better to race again than to never race again. - I met Bernie, and I thought he was a real gentleman.
This might be the best F1 channel that I just discovered
Happy you found my channel and you enjoy the videos mate 👍🏻❤️
have you not watched RPM haha
@@DailyFuelUp 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
F1 fans who started watching from the DTS era: "Who the hell is he"
Like him or not he is still has the best seasons ever under his rule.
10:53 I don’t think I’ve ever seen Enzo talk on camera
what an incredibly well made video, how does this not have millions of views
Bernie is such a legend 🥇
100 great bloke us f1 fans owe him a lot
he'd take a bullet for putin
His
Word
I think people new to the sport do not realise that it only exists due to Bernie. Love him or hate him, the sport owes him a lot

I'm starting miss that guy can't believe I'm saying that
F1 was terrible when he was owner. I remember not being to find anything on TH-cam for F1, no highlights no review shows, just awful
Glad I found this channel. Great videos, informative and engaging AND without the narcissistic need to shove one’s face on us. Thank you.
Happy you enjoy my videos mate 👍🏻
Just recently found your channel. Loving the content. Keep up the great work.🏎️🏁🏆❤️
It`s always a good day when DailyFuelUp uploads! Keep up the good work mate!
Thanks a lot mate, I appreciate it ❤️💪🏻
Personally, I wish he still did. There'd still be a show, it'd just have fewer clowns.
Before buying the TV rights Ecclestone proposed F1 teams to join the forces and buy it together... they all refused... now with Netflix it will slowly die as another "big brother" type show
Bring back Bernie!
Bernie is the "Father of the Modern F1"
This Mosley guy seems pretty interesting. I wonder what his dad did 🤔💭
All he did was corporatize it.. which is essentislly Fascismo
This guy is a genius
1 chassis, 2 chassis, not chasseze.
This video has gone through many name changes you notice that a lot nowadays also in other videos
Atleast Bernie had SPIRIT in the sport, not like Liberty Media being a Greedy MF
He ruled the roost until he didn't....
The man who killed Group C
Bernie? What ARE you talking about? And you probably mean Group B...
He seems to me Lalit modi of ipl who didnt got accused ig
God I wish lance stroll raced in this era
Ron Torans?
He did the middle finger!!!!!!!
I knew him as tamara's dad
U r pronouncing c in Slavica wrong
Yeah, maybe some bits turned out well, but to ignore bernie being the bastard he tends to be would be to ignor reality
Boy does he look good in the rear view mirror now. Liberty are clueless !
Not brought up his legal issues and doggy deals .
He acts like the mafia leader , everyone pays the boss no matter what .
Eccling Berniestone
I saw Bernie and Max Moseley kissing after the Hungarian Gran Prix years ago. They were off on their own in the driver's/family/VIP parking lot and I had left something in the car. Later on, a large man came to tell me that "chatty mouths make for dead ones." Now that Bernie is dead, I can finally tell the story.
He should be knighted as sir
Bernie respectfully, has always been a bit odd. But he got results
14:34 bernie 😂
Ecclestone is who christian horner wants to emulate
💫
the tiniest man on earth
basically LA lakers when NBA was gonna go down. ahah
Networking is awesome when you’re CIA !!!
As mych as for years i didn't wanted to say, but Liberty Media isn't better than Bernie. Both did good thinks for the sport by helping it expand, but both are still greedy and will do anything for money

Bring back Bernie

(Wich iss the manager from Alonso a maffia guy, Alonso I do not like for that reason to say it soft).
He sold the rights 3 times. Kek!
This is why you need someone like Nick de Santis to put a stop to this evil madness at a state level

Same old same old.
F1 tv working in Germany is a lie sadly you cant watch any race
Upa provies
Rehashed shite🧐✌🏻👍🏻
All I will say is that I hate Ecclestone! I will not explain because I have no evidence, but he screwed my brother and me, but ------ !
Drive to survive sucks. Watched the first season...never again. F1 for wine drinking housewives.

Your channel name made me think the videos would be AI voice over trash. Thankfully just a normal bloke talking tyres
🫅🛣️ F1 VALENCIA 🥳🎉🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺👏👏👏👏💪🏆✌️💯
First 🎉
Maybe learn to pronounce all the names before publishing a video.
Long story short: it became boring once he sold up
Your video is not accurate!! #F1release
You just commented over the eccelstone documentary Content thief
Bernie began his magic through the polyester/"shag" carpet era.
1987 just when the tech ramped up, so did Bernie.
1995/96 master stroke. 2001 led to; crap street tracks, blackrock ownership > Liberty Media
Yet Bernie carried it through Nico Rosberg's WDC 2016
