Bernie: The Biography of Bernie Ecclestone Susan Watkins

Bernie Ecclestone is best-known as the architect and figurehead of modern Formula One, but he has been a constant and often controversial presence in both Formula One and British public life since the 1970s. In this exhaustive and insightful biography, initially written in close collaboration with Bernie, Susan Watkins analyses in detail his rise to prominence, from his early entrepreneurial exploits as a schoolboy to his position today as a peerless businessman and multi-billionaire. All aspects of his business and racing exploits are examined, and contrasted with intimate insight into his personal life.

Bernie Bewertungen

"While Susan Watkins biography is evidently a sympathetic one, it's not a whitewash. (About his interactions with journalists: "At the end, the interviewer is usually no wiser.") An in-depth look at a complex personality; full of neat gossip." - Road & Track

"Hot on the heels of renewed talk of a F1 'breakaway' series, reports quote Ron Dennis as accusing Bernie Ecclestone of stealing the sport's commercial rights from the teams. The McLaren supremo's comments appear in the new Ecclestone biography called 'Bernie'. "Bernie effectively stole Formula One from us," Dennis charged. He is referring to the transfer of F1's lucrative commercial rights from the team-led Formula One Constructors' Association (FOCA) to Ecclestone's company in the 90s. "He used this commercial benefit to persuade the teams to accept a contract that eliminated them from the passing of rights as had previously existed," Dennis said in the book. McLaren - as well as Williams - contested the transaction, claiming that some of the profits of the rights' subsequent sale belonged to them. The British teams also sued the law firms that represented them for giving bad advice, but Ecclestone insists they simply regretted not making a wiser decision. "It's only when things started to look good and I invested the money and it started to work that they thought maybe they should have done it," said the 80-year-old." - Speed TV

Inhaltsverzeichnis

This intimate portrait is drawn from extensive interviews with Bernie and those who have known him and had dealings with him over the years. Childhood in Suffolk, set against the background of his family's experiences of the Second World War. Early entrepreneurial achievements in the post-war period, buying and selling motorcycles, and the beginnings of Bernie's infatuation with motor racing. The expansion of his commercial enterprises and his growing involvement in driving racing cars as well as buying and selling them. Involvement with the Cooper and Brabham Formula One teams, and Bernie's reaction to the death of his close friend Jochen Rindt. The reorganisation of Formula One that followed Bernie gaining control over the Formula One Constructors' Association (FOCA), and his enduring friendship and collaboration with Max Mosley. Transforming Formula One into a global brand, beginning in the late 1970s. Anonymous contributions to charities, and at times difficult relationships with family and friends, contrast with Bernie's ruthlessness as a businessman. Published to coincide with Bernie Ecclestone's 80th birthday in October 2010.
