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.
