Bernie Ecclestone wanted another year at the top of F1

Bernie Ecclestone said he would have liked to stay on as Formula One's CEO for another year, but insists he does not feel let down by the sport's new owners Liberty Media.

When Liberty took full control of F1 in January, Ecclestone was given the role of chairman emeritus and former 21st Century Fox executive Chase Carey was installed as the sport's new CEO. Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of the start of the new season, Ecclestone, who believed he would stay at the top of the sport for another three years, was asked if he felt let down by the situation.
