Ex-Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone shocked viewers as he told Good Morning Britain he would "still take a bullet" for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Mr Ecclestone, the former chief of the Formula One Group, described the Russian leader as a "first-class person" despite the war Mr Putin is raging in Ukraine. The one time F1 supremo and Formula One Constructors Association founder told ITV viewers he believes the war in Ukraine is not "intentional".
Mr Ecclestone claimed Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky could have avoided it by taking actions and speaking to Mr Putin. The former QPR FC owner described Putin as "sensible".
