He is the man who created modern-day Formula One. He is both feared
and admired for the way in which he masterminded its transformation
from an amateur sport of the 1950s into a global billion dollar
industry of the 21st century. And now, with his fortune, influence,
and power, Bernie Ecclestone has moved into the world of soccer
with Renault F1 boss Flavio Briatore to turn Queen's Park Rangers,
a struggling west London club, into a serious rival to the
capital's glamour club, Chelsea. Overnight, QPR has access to more
wealth than Real Madrid, able to compete with the financial backing
of Roman Abramovich, Chelsea's Russian billionaire owner. But what
makes Bernie run? What lies behind the grim, poker-face of this
deal-maker extraordinaire, who, for nearly 40 years, has ruthlessly
exploited and dominated Formula One? To many he became the savior
of the sport, but there have also been many who have suffered at
this hands--the weak and the gullible, the politically naive and
unsuspecting. They have a different story to tell. Revealing the
unbridled avarice, callousness, and corruption behind the hype of
Formula One, this book also shows the warts-and-all character of
the man who is now setting his sights on a sport no less decadent.
