Last week had a surprise for me in store: I met a charming old gentleman called Bernie Ecclestone, known to most as the F1 supremo, or in other words - the man that dominates Formula One racing. No doubt he is a very astute and wealthy business magnate, a shrewd negotiator not without controversy. Hence our interview with him, which largely centred on the court cases against him in which he is accused of bribery.
At his tender age of 83 and the amount of pressure he must be under, I didn't fail to be impressed by him. My client, Handelsblatt newspaper thought so too and published my portrait on their cover as well as two more on inside pages to accompany the headline interview.
