It’s time for Ecclestone to quit running F1 – Jordan

Bernie Ecclestone should hand the job of running Formula 1 over to somebody else who can “really shake it up”, according to former team owner Eddie Jordan.

The Irishman, who is now a pundit on the BBC’s F1 coverage, believes the time is right for Ecclestone to step down and allow someone else to control the sport.

“I think he’s done a remarkable job but time has played its role and he should go,” Jordan told BBC Radio 5 Live.

“We need to leave it for the next generation in a better state. He has to keep asking himself that and where the timeframe is for him to leave. I think it’s now.”

The 84-year-old has run the sport since the late-1970’s when he formed the Formula One Constructors Association and helped negotiate television rights, before eventually taking complete control.

He has therefore made F1 what it is today, but Jordan believes there is a point in which someone with different ideas must take over to ensure F1 is as popular in the future.

“The man is a legend. He has taken the sport from absolutely nowhere but, at the end of the day, he’s not immortal. He may think he is but he’s not,” he added.

“There are times you have to say ‘look, I’ve done everything that I can do’.

“It does need somebody radical in there who is going to really shake it all about and go back to basics.”
