Bernie Ecclestone: 'The last thing new owners need is my input'
Former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has spoken about the sport鈥檚 new owners at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Talking to 5 live Formula 1's Tom Clarkson, Ecclestone said: "I've been upgraded from chief executive to a much higher position. It's so high, I can't even see what's going on.
"The last thing they need is me to have any input because they want to change things, and they know I would have changed them before if I thought they needed changing.
"They believe I haven鈥檛 done a very good job and they want to do a better job and they don鈥檛 need any help from someone who hasn鈥檛 done a good job."
Ecclestone, 86, who had been in charge for nearly 40 years, was removed from his position running Formula 1 as US giant Liberty Media completed its $8bn (拢6.4bn) takeover of the sport.
