Bernie Ecclestone downplays Briatore-Chief Executive rumors
F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has denied recent rumors that Flavio Briatore could be the Briton’s successor as Chief Executive of Formula One. Ecclestone and Briatore, already friends for a long time, recently became partners when they bought the Queens Park Rangers football club. “I don’t think he is even interested in this job; he has different priorities than me,” said the Briton.
During an interview with the FHM Magazine, the Briton has also defined Kimi Raikkonen as ‘completely the opposite’ of Lewis Hamilton: “Hamilton attracts all the attention, because he likes to talk,” he said. “With Kimi it is so different, nobody even knows what he is going to do from one year to the next, so it is difficult to predict how the rest of his career will be”.
