"Just look at how the races changed in Azerbaijan. More and more people can be seen in the stands from year to year. One cannot deny that Baku is a very beautiful and hospitable city, which tourists from different countries are happy to visit. I hear English spoken everywhere in the city. Azerbaijan, Bahrain and, unquestionably, Russia - these are the Grand Prix, which I never miss," he said in an interview with Autosport.

Ecclestone also touched upon the changes Liberty Media proposed to introduce in Formula 1.

"I am still within the structure, but I do not take part in the daily management, I do not really understand what they are discussing with the teams now. Not because I do not want to, but because they themselves do not yet fully understand what they are doing, and most importantly what is the goal of all these changes," said Ecclestone.
