Explanation
Bernie Ecclestone controlled the commercial rights to Formula One for nearly 40 years through his companies. He served as CEO of Formula One Group and was the chief executive of the Formula One Group until 2017 when Liberty Media acquired the rights.
AI explanation
Bernie Ecclestone built up and controlled the commercial rights to Formula One for decades through his company (later Formula One Management/FOM), effectively running the sport's business side. Max Mosley, by contrast, headed the FIA, the sport's governing/regulatory body, not its commercial rights. Ross Brawn and Ron Dennis were team principals, not rights holders.
