LONDON: The end of Bernie Ecclestone’s four-decade reign of Formula One could see it return to being a more entertaining spectacle, former McLaren chief executive Martin Whitmarsh told Agence France-Presse on Wednesday.
Ecclestone’s time as the colorful ringmaster of the Grand Prix circuit effectively ended Monday when US-based Liberty Media completed its takeover of motor sport’s most prestigious brand in a deal valued at about $8 billion.
