Unfortunately he's [Putin] like a lot of business people, certainly like me, that we make mistakes from time to time and when you make the mistake, you have to do the best you can to get out of it.

I would still take a bullet for him. I’d rather it didn’t hurt but I would still take a bullet...he’s a first class person, and what he’s doing is something that he believed was the right thing.

The other person in Ukraine, his profession I understand, used to be a comedian - and I think it seems that he wants to continue that profession.

I think if he'd thought about things, he would definitely have made a big enough effort to speak to Putin, who is a sensible person, and would have listened to him and could have probably done something about it.

I'm quite sure Ukraine, if they'd wanted to get out of it properly, could have done

I'm absolutely sure he now wishes he hadn't started this whole business - but it didn't start as a war.

When it was pointed out that Russia's invasion of Ukraine had claimed the lives of thousands of innocent people, Mr Ecclestone simply replied: "It wasn't intentional".

In regards to dropping the Russian Grand Prix:

"I'm not in the position now to have done anything about that,

"I'm not sure I would have stopped that, and I certainly now wouldn't, and I think it's wrong, to stop Russian athletes, including obviously drivers, in taking part in their sport.

"They didn't get involved in this in the first place. They shouldn't be punished."

The former Formula 1 boss has previously defended the Russian president, telling Times Radio last month that he found Mr Putin “very straightforward and honourable.”

“He’s a good guy,” he said. “He’s never done anything that isn’t doing good things for people. I would like him running Europe. We haven’t got anybody, so it couldn’t be any worse.”

He added: “I am not a supporter of democracry. You need a dictator. As a dictator, you say, ‘This is what I’m going to do’. In a democracy, it gets watered down.”
