I watched a bit less than the first half.
He's a terrible interviewer. His questions are so long and rambling that he's edited in the middle of asking them (that's normally reserved for when the interviewee is rambling). It was the classic toadying sycophantic ego-massage session for Bernie. I learned absolutely nothing new about him.
Is the second half any better?

Yes, he's not quick enough!
He knew it and stopped before he got shown up - again!
Yep, beating everyone else was so embarrassing he had to retire. He knew it and stopped before he got shown up - again!
(Cue the ‘Hamilton’s car broke down’, ‘they took his engineers away’ ...........)

This is the first time I have ever seen Ecclestone give a proper interview and the first time I have seen him being asked what you might call proper questions. I know what you refer to about classic sycophantic ego-massage questions to BCE and this interview is different.He's a terrible interviewer.

This has promise. I like Nico on Sky, he seems very comfortable with what he's achieved and the decision he made to get out. Not the greatest of interviews though. Pretty poor sound quality for the most part and fairly mundane 'safe' questions. I hope he sticks with it and improves as much as an interviewer as he did as a driver.
I really didn't enjoy listening to that. I couldn't stand more than 5 minutes or so. The camera work was crap. The positioning of the microphone on Nico was awful - if he turned his head one way the sound was hugely muffled. He needs to sort out a tripod and a proper mic. I would have thought he has enough cash to buy one...

Presumably covered in other threads but anyone who wins any championship/belt and is unwilling to defend it even once is 1. not a racer at heart and 2. fully aware the luck required to pull it off again is, if not astronomically unlikely then certainly very long odds against a repeat. Somehow would have been more honourable to have never won than to run for the hills imo.
Prost, Mansell, Fangio and Stewart also retired as champions. Are they not racers either????oyster said:

Prost, Fangio and Stewart has already defended their championships by that point. They didn't win once and then run for the hills. Mansell situation is different, he left F1 after a disagreement at Williams and won the Indy championship the following year.

Yeah, he was only quick enough to beat the bloke who many on here would have you believe is the quickest out there. In the same car.
(Cue the ‘Hamilton’s car broke down’, ‘they took his engineers away’ ...........)
So if he was that good why did he only do it once? And then quit!(Cue the ‘Hamilton’s car broke down’, ‘they took his engineers away’ ...........)
Then admit he couldn't do it again.
Surely that's the difference between good and great.
