Formula son: Bernie Ecclestone, 91, is the proud father through and through as he puts baby Ace, 21 months, behind the wheel of a car at the Interlagos circuit
He was dubbed the F1 supremo after transforming Formula 1 from a niche racing competition into a global phenomenon.
And Bernie Ecclestone, 91, revealed his son Ace, 21, could follow in his footsteps as he posed with the tot in a race car for an adorable snap in Sao Paulo.
The wife of business tycoon Fabiana Flosi, 45, posted the sweet shot to Instagram on Monday as she gushed about the two men in her life.

She wrote: “Ace first Racing car experience… at Interlagos!”
The sweet snap showed father-of-four Bernie looking after his youngest child, who donned ear defenders while holding onto the wheel.
Racing has become a family affair, with Fabiana – Bernie’s third wife – being elected Vice-President of the FIA last year.
Her appointment led to the motorsport organization’s new president, Mohammed ben Sulayem, insisting that Bernie was not involved behind the scenes.

Bernie became a father for the fourth time when he welcomed son Ace with Fabiana in July 2020, whom he married in 2012.
The couple met through the World Motor Sport Council, where she regularly attended meetings.
He previously hit back at claims he was too old to be a father after Ace’s birth and said he wanted more children.

He told The Sun on Sunday: “Now I have more free time and I hope to spend it with my son when he grows up. I don’t know if we’re going to stop here. Maybe he should have a little brother or sister.
In his first conversations with his now-wife about starting a family when they first met eight years ago, he said, “Fabiana said she wanted a family and I told her, ‘It’s not a problem for me. Half a dozen kids is great “.”
The billionaire businessman is already the father of daughters Deborah (66), Tamara (37) and Petra Ecclestone (33).
Deborah was born to his first wife Ivy Bamford before welcoming socialites Tamara and Petra with his second wife Slavica Radić.
