Eddie Jordan: 'Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone should step down'

BBC pundit Eddie Jordan has said that Bernie Ecclestone should stand down as the head of Formula 1.

Ecclestone has been in charge of Formula 1 since 1978, but has come under scrutiny after claims of bribery last year.

"I think he's done a remarkable job but time has played its role and he should go," Jordan told BBC Sport.

"We need to leave it for the next generation in a better state. He has to keep asking himself that and where the timeframe is for him to leave. I think it's now."

The 57-year-old owned the Jordan Grand Prix racing team between 1991 and 2006.
