The father of a 70-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy, the incredible life of the former Forum 1 Boys.

The legendary former head of Formula 1, Bernie Ecclestone, has spoken openly about his family life and the rare experience of being the father of a 70-year-old girl and a boy only five years old.

In an interview for German media Bild, quoted by The Sun, the 95-year-old proudly told of his younger son, Ace, whom he has with his current wife, Fabiana Flosi, 49.

“Ace is a wonderful guy. He's smart, curious, and interested in everything.
From his first marriage to Ivy Bamford, he has the oldest daughter, Deborah, now 70 years old, and from her second marriage to former model Slavica Radiić, there are two other girls: Tamara (41) and Petra (36).

Fabian, the current wife, added that their co-operation as parents functions in a fine way:

When I lose patience, Bernie speaks to Ace calmly and explains that he can't watch TV in half an hour until his homework is done. ”
Ecclestone described the feeling of having children in such a large age difference:

When you see your older daughter and your youngest son, you realize how much has happened between them. ”
But the legendary boss of Forum 1 found another interesting detail in his personal life, that there were only four true friends, and three of them no longer live.
They are Austrian pilot Jochen Rindt, former FIA President Max Mosley and triple world champion Niki Lauda.
The only living friend is the former Renault leader, Flavius Britator.

Ecclestone recalled an episode from their friendship:

When Flavius' yacht was seized in Italy in 2010 for a tax issue, I bought it at auction and then sold it back for the same price, plus a dollar. ”
After selling Form 1 for 3.44 billion pounds, Bernie Ecclestone has fully dedicated himself to his family, showing that after decades of success and controversy, his new life revolves around love, family and few but real friendships.. /Periscopi/
