Bernie Ecclestone has said he’d “still take a bullet” for long-time friend and Russian president, Vladimir Putin, despite Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Ecclestone and Putin’s unlikely friendship dates back to at least 2010, when the Russian president and British billionaire signed an agreement to bring Formula One racing to Sochi for a Grand Prix to be held in 2014. The seven-year deal was reportedly worth £125 million.
