Dad Bernie, 91, puts his boy in the driving seat

WHEN you’re a father at 91, you don’t have any time to waste.

And Formula 1 tycoon Bernie Ecclestone has been getting his son, Ace, behind the wheel of a racing car, even though the boy is only one.

‘Ace’s first racing car experience,’ says his mother, Fabiana, 44, who is the billionaire’s third wife. The tot is pictured with ear protectors at Interlagos circuit in Sao Paulo, in his mother’s native Brazil. She was elected last year as a vice-president of the FIA. That led to the motor sport organisation’s new president, Mohammed ben Sulayem, insisting that Bernie was not involved behind the scenes.
