NEW YORK (AP) - The World Jewish Congress is calling for Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone to resign after he was quoted as saying that Adolf Hitler «got things done.
In the interview with London's The Times newspaper, Ecclestone also said democracy «hasn't done a lot of good for many countries _ including this one.
In a statement Sunday, Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, says Ecclestone is not fit to serve as head of Formula One and calls on teams, drivers and host countries to suspend their cooperation with him.

Ecclestone, who owns F1's commercial rights, has drawn criticism before. He once said women should dress in white «like all other domestic appliances.
