Next time some uptight Formula One fan tries to sell you on the merits of European-style open-wheel racing, go ahead and remind him that two of his sport's bosses love German dictators with little mustaches. Outgoing FIA boss Max Mosley, of course, has been known to enjoy a good sex-romp with Nazi whores. And Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone told the Times of London that he prefers totalitarian regimes to democracies. Ecclestone praised Adolf Hitler for his ability to "get things done."

Ecclestone, 78, said,  "In a lot of ways, terrible to say this I suppose, but apart from the fact that Hitler got taken away and persuaded to do things that I have no idea whether he wanted to do or not, he was in the way that he could command a lot of people, able to get things done.

"In the end he got lost, so he wasn't a very good dictator because either he had all these things and knew what was going on and insisted, or he just went along with it ... so either way he wasn't a dictator."
