Bernie Ecclestone

This may be controversial.

I think Bernie Ecclestone has told Putin (indirectly), in no uncertain terms, that he has made a mistake. BE said he had not spoken to the Russian president since the invasion was launched in February, but added: "I'm absolutely sure he now wishes he didn't start this whole business,"

If more leading figures in sport, music, TV, etc were to make similar comments, I do believe it may give Vlad 'pause for thought'.
