Bernie Ecclestone talks to Daily Mail about detsting democracy, F1 and his wife

Ecclestone has been married for 25 years to the former model, Croatian-born Slavica Radic. (He pronounces her name as if it were “saliva”.) She has black hair, a wicked smile and is 6ft 2in tall.   “I liked her because she was attractive and younger. I didn’t want anyone older. I didn’t see much point in that.”  “Why do you think people are faithful?”

“Because they like each other?” I suggest.

He looks at me pityingly. “It’s only because of fear. Fear of the financial disaster of a divorce. I asked Slavica about the possibility of me having a mistress, but she didn’t like the idea of that, so I gave it up. It would have been nothing but trouble.”

I hate democracy as a political system,” Ecclestone continues. “It stops you getting things done. I think people should have decisions made for them.”

As for some of the less palatable aspects of dictatorship, he remarks casually that “torture is just an old-fashioned way of getting things done”.
