Renault were also on the winning side in the final years of the V8 era, powering Red Bull to four consecutive titles—for both teams and...

5 Quotes from Formula 1 Supremo Bernie Ecclestone

Bernie Ecclestone has been a part of the Formula One landscape for almost 60 years. After stints as a driver (two failed attempts to qualify in 1958), manager and team owner, the Suffolk, England, native finally found his calling controlling the commercial rights of the world’s most glamorous motorsport. His reign has seen the sport grow from a mainly European affair to a truly worldwide spectacle....
