Bernie Ecclestone; the godfather van de Formule 1 is vandaag 85 jaar

Door Bas Kaligis28 oktober 2015 · 11:13 uur1 min lezen

Op 28 oktober 1930 werd Bernard Charles (Bernie) Ecclestone geboren in het Engelse Ipswich. Ecclestone is de grote man achter de Formule 1. Hij maakte de F1 tot wat het nu is.

Ecclestone racete vroeger zelf ook en probeerde zich in 1958 tot twee keer toe te kwalificeren voor een Grand Prix, maar geen van beide keren kwam hij aan de start. In 1972 kocht hij het Brabham-team. Later maakte Ecclestone de Formule 1 tot een groot commercieel succes!

Bernie gefeliciteerd!
