Former Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has come under fire after stating he would “take a bullet” for the Russian dictator, calling him a “first-class person”. Eddie Jordan told GB News he was “horrified” and “disappointed” by the controversial comments which have caused outrage.

Eddie spoke to GB News’ Alastair Stewart ahead of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone where he was asked about the Formula One supremo’s remarks.

The broadcaster said: “I’m quite certain Bernie didn’t quite understand what he was saying. I’m not trying to defend him.”

Eddie continued: “I was shocked. I was horrified and I was so disappointed.

“You see the pain and the conflict that’s going on.

“It was an unbelievable thing for Bernie to say. It’s inexcusable.

“I don’t even know how you come back from there.

“I’m sure Bernie is so upset about what he said because I’m sure he didn’t mean to say it the way that it was said.”
