Former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has taken aim at Lewis Hamilton and even accused the Brit of being desperate for attention.
The sport is just two days away from its first race of the season in Bahrain and the seven-time champion is looking to hit the ground running in 2023. But as he prepares to begin another campaign with Mercedes, one of F1’s senior and most controversial figures has criticised his compatriot’s comments about him last summer.
The row began when Ecclestone controversially suggested Hamilton should “brush aside” a racial slur about him by former world champion Nelson Piquet. Understandably disappointed, Hamilton responded by saying: “I don’t know why we are continuing to give these older voices a platform.”
