News about Bernie Ecclestone

POLE POSITION BY JONATHAN MCEVOY: Bernie Ecclestone believes peace will break out at Red Bull after the scandal that has engulfed the world championship-winning team. The 93-year-old - Formula One's most iconic figure and a best friend of previously embattled team principal Christian Horner - says that everything is mending after the scandal that hit in February. Ecclestone told this column: 'It's peace in our time. And Christian informs me everything's fantastic with Geri.'

POLE POSITION JONATHAN McEVOY: His former PA is back in the Red Bull fold, which is a twist in the Christian Horner story. Since the fallout that has seen a female employee of his suspended from his job, I am told she is organising her diary. Nicole Carling, who has been contacted by journalists to ask if she wanted to talk about Horner, is acting as a 'internal assistant,' with her email sign-off. It would appear that Horner's denial of allegations would derail rumors that she was going to air complaints about any maltreatment.

SPECIAL REPORT BY OLI GAMP: Just hours after touching down in S.O. Paulo, a conversation quickly shifts to Formula E and Formula One's David and Goliath match. We're all aware that the one we're talking about is Goliath, but the underdog has a few tricks up its sleeve to level the playing field, as the classic tale shows. Formula E isn't on everyone's radar - it was once mocked by Bernie Ecclestone as 'like pulling electric lawnmowers around a parking lot.' FE has a deal to race with such cars until 2036. The sun is coming, and people are starting to sit up and take notice. The fact that ex-Formula One chief Ecclestone was a VIP guest at this weekend's run, which was a testament to that.

Neil Trotter bought £10 of Lucky Dip tickets a decade ago today and discovered that he had matched the seven numbers needed to win the massive jackpot on the evening. With his new-found wealth, the self-professed car enthusiast got rid of his 'old banger' Ford Focus and invested in his very own race team, as well as a 2014 McLaren 650S Spider with a personalised number plate worth £100,000. If he is not cruising in his 3.7-litre supercar with a top speed of 204 miles per hour, the racing enthusiast can be found relaxing in his mansion.

Felipe Massa has opened court proceedings in order to reverse Lewis Hamilton's 2008 world championship triumph. On the last corner of the last race in his hometown Brazil, the Brazilian lost by a single point, the first of his seven world championships for McLaren. Massa's family was celebrating the championship in the Ferrari garage at the time. Only for Hamilton to zoom up to the fourth position, where they must rip their dreams apart. Their man had crossed the line as the race winner and potential champion, but they didn't have to zoom up to the fourth position.

Tamara was once chastised for photographing in an online picture of a horse with its mane dyed pink. However, Petra Ecclestone doesn't appear to have benefited from this blunder, although she has posted a snapshot of her Yorkshire terrier dyed in an alarming shade of purple. The daughter of former F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone tagged her sister and wrote: "The silence before the storm." Possibly anticipating the backlash.' The storm has arrived, and it has made landfall. Kate Middleton's brother James, who owns a happiness and well-being company for dogs, told me last night that he strongly disagrees with the trend. Just as they are.'Dogs are beautiful.' To color your dog is treating them as an accessory, and that is completely intolerable,' he said.

Christian Horner is expected to attend the unveiling of Red Bull's latest vehicle on Thursday despite calls for the team leader to resign after being accused of 'inappropriate conduct' by a female coworker. A female employee at Red Bull brought the allegation of'strict behaviour' early this month, but Horner has denied any wrongdoing. Horner attended a hearing last Friday and learned whether he would face any penalties or not. Bernie Ecclestone, the F1 god of F1 has begged him to resign to avoid injury to his wife Geri Halliwell and his family, and her family was 'devastated' by the allegations brought against her husband.

In the midst of an investigation into allegations of 'controlling behavior,' Bernie Ecclestone has advised Christian Horner to step down from his role as Red Bull team principal.' After a female Red Bull employee accused him of "inappropriate conduct," the 50-year-old, husband of former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, is fighting to save his career. He denies all charges, but he was forced to testify before a KC, who has been named as the team's internal prosecutor.

Lavinia performed a twirl on stage at the Downey Theatre in Los Angeles, sporting a crown, a Disney princess-style ballgown, heels, and a 'Miss West Coast' sash, posing for cameras and judges in full makeover. Petra, 35, every inch of the doting pageant parent, has declared herself to be a'very proud mummy'. "I am so blessed to be your mother, I will continue to inspire your dreams, never judge you, and always love you," she posted to her 77,000 Instagram followers.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: There is no stopping Viscount Newport, Bradford's 43-year-old eldest son and heir, and his wife, Latvian-born Eliza Liepina, 33, from being killed. Barely have I revealed that Eliza has daringly disrobed for a portrait, painted in the late stages of her pregnancy, for the first time. I'm sure that this week, the couple is adopting the American tradition of having a 'baby shower,' a party at which friends'shower' gifts on the soon-to-be-born child. But are the dashing couple in peril of becoming the aristocracy's version of the Kardashians? It's likely that family friends are concerned.

Exclusively BY JONATHAN MCEVOY: Silverstone has negotiated a new 10-year contract worth £300 million for its long-term participation as the home of the British Grand Prix. Mail Sport understands that the announcement will follow later today that the Northamptonshire circuit has signed the deal with Formula One's American owners, Liberty Media. Silverstone, we can tell, will spend £30 million a year to stage one of the sporting summer's greatest jewels until 2034. There are no plans to host a counter-attraction in London. Stefano Domenicali, the current F1 chief executive, is of the opinion that a competition involving such iconic landmarks as the Mall would have sufficient credibility to go forward, but that there are insurgent obstacles, such as closing down major portions of the capital for days on end. Domenicali's participation in a less well-known location outside of town, and London as a result of the past is out of reach.

Christian Horner partied the night away in Mayfair, only a few weeks ago, at a surprise bash at Mount St restaurant thrown by his Spice Girl wife, Geri. It was his 50th birthday, a function marginally postponed due to his Formula One service as team principal of the Red Bull team that dominated last season, winning all but one of the 22 rounds, but the A-List supper could hardly have been merrier, as Gary Barlow, Sir Rod Stewart, and Ronnie Wood serenaded the A-List supper. Bernie Ecclestone and his Brazilian wife Fabiana Flosi were both present. The singers among the crowd sang of Happy Birthday and the half-centurion guest of honor cut the grand three-tier cake on which the legend 'World Champion' was written. Horner chuckled, 'I thought we were making a band.'

Ed Sheeran, JK Rowling, and Bernie Ecclestone were among those named in a list of Britain's top 100 taxpayers. They are among 100 influential people and families who have made it onto the Sunday Times' Tax List, which also includes Russian-born financial trader Alex Gerko and Whetherspoon founder Sir Tim Martin. According to the chart, two-thirds of the super wealthy who made the list this year are paying less tax this year relative to the previous, which comes as families throughout the UK are feeling the financial strain as a result of the cost of living crisis. The study also showed that if you discount the tax bills from both Ecclestone and Gerko, who are ranked as the top two with, then the total tax paid by the remaining people on the list has decreased by £200 million from last year. According to the list, two-thirds of the super wealthy who appeared on the list are paying less tax this year compared to the previous, which comes as families across the UK are feeling the financial strain from the cost of living crisis. The study also revealed that discounting the tax bills from both Ecclestone and Gerko, who are ranked as the top two on the list, will bring the total tax paid by the remaining individuals on the list down by £200 million from last year.

Bernie Ecclestone, 93, and his 47-year-old wife Fabiana Flosi competed in Austria on Saturday at a charity skiing tournament. In Kitzbuehel, the pair were seen at the Kitz Charity Trophy skiing tournament, which raises funds to assist mountain farming families in need. Fabiana was seen donning a black ski-suit with a fluffy hood and taking to the slopes, as well as a Sixt branded vest, white helmet, and ski googles. In the meantime, Ecclestone, wearing a navy coat and a pair of grey and pink sunglasses, glad at the sidelines. At the Men's Downhill event at FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup, Ecclestone was also seen greeting Austrian former Formula One racing driver Gerhard Berger, of whom the charity ski is a feature. Their appearance follows a Formula One triumph that forced the taxman to pay more than half of his income to him but avoided prison after admitting to hiding £416 million from HMRC.

ExCLUSIVE: Alessandro Donati, 46, (right) received an eight-year prison term in November 2021, as well as Alessandro Maltese, 47, while Jugoslav Jovanovic, 26, received 11 years. We learned that Donati was released right before Christmas under the early release program for foreign prisoners. "We would like to say that these people have been given their freedom so soon after the robbery occurred," the millionaire heiress said in a joint statement with her husband Jay Rutland. We would also like to mention that anyone that provides any details that leads to the successful recovery of any of the stolen watches and jewelry will be rewarded.' Although her billionaire father, former Formula One CEO Bernie Ecclestone, didn't mince his words, she told MailOnline: "Bloody bewildering, this was news to me."

JONATHAN MCEVOY: Another instalment in Formula One's world-most expensive soap opera known as Formula One aired this weekend, with Ron Dennis' promotion to Knight Bachelor status. Arise, Sir Ron! And so the long-awaited wish of the former McLaren owner's late-life is properly celebrated at the age of 76. Dennis is one of the sport's most notable figures. Bernie Ecclestone and Enzo Ferrari may have fallen apart over the broad sweep of the sport, but Dennis' perfectionism bordering on mania set the bar for all modern Formula One, not just for his hometown, Woking-based business that he turned into the country's most competitive team and the second best after Ferrari.

Given that Max Verstappen won 19 out of the 22 races on his way to his third straight championship, it's safe to say that the 2023 Formula One season will not be remembered as one of the most memorable ones. In the most recent edition of his annual Christmas card, former Formula One chief executive Bernie Ecclestone seems to have exemplified that emotion. The 93-year-old card, which usually features a parody at a memorable moment from the previous season, has been released.

COMMENT BAIL: Tony Blair, the DAILY MAIL COMMENT: On his arrival as prime minister in May 1997, he tried to reassure us that he was the rarest of beasts: a politician who was whiter than white. He was, he argued, a'very straight kinda guy.' We all know how it turned out. His government wasted no time in abandoning such principles. Bernie Ecclestone's substantial donation was questioned within weeks of him becoming No.10, and Formula One was exempted from the ban on smoking.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Formula 1 is being ruined by political correctness, according to Tamara Ecclestone (left), whose billionaire father Bernie was the sport's supremo until 2017. Times have changed since he was in charge of running things, and they may have shifted slightly for the worse,' she tells me at the preview night for the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland in London. 'Everyone's very offended...You must be so careful about what you say.' And if you happen to think it's meant to be in jeopardy, it's all.' Lewis Hamilton (right) of F1 last year pleaded for the sport's 'grandees' to be silenced, saying, 'enough is sufficient.' He was referring to Nelson Piquet's (inset) use of a racial slur when referring to him, as well as Ecclestone's description of Russian President Vladimir Putin as a 'first-class individual.'

More than £1.3 billion has been invested into the Las Vegas GP, bringing the sport back to Sin City for the first time since the Caesars Palace Grand Prix was held there in 1981 and 1982. However, the VIP tour has already been dogged by a slew of issues, with followers, Las Vegas residents, and even drivers complaining of high costs, TikTok's Casinocompwallet posted a video of their poor view of the street circuit from the VIP area, which they said cost $6000 to enter. 'This is the racetrack for the f1 from the VIP suite, you're behind the Heineken House in Las Vegas, the race is less than a minute, so let's take a look at the track view from up here.' The'spectacular' was really impressive.'

A Grand Prix on the Las Vegas Strip has been in existence for 40 years, but Formula One's biggest bet is about to become a reality this weekend. The world's best celebrities are due to descend on Nevada's legendary strip for what is billed as the most spectacular show the sport has ever seen. Last night, the event, which might have resulted in $1-1.3 billion, was put into chaos after the first practice run was called off after eight minutes due to a loose drain cover on the track.

It's countdown to the Las Vegas Grand Prix on Saturday, not just the first, but the swankiest, most garish, most Super Bowl-like extravagance Formula One has ever staged. The first? Well, that's arguable because the Entertainment Capital of the World - self-proclaimed in the burgeoning, kaching-ing world of slot machines, roulette wheels, and blackjack tables - held two races in 1981 and 1982. They were detained at Caesars Palace. Bernie Ecclestone had hoped for in the hotel parking lot, but they failed to give the appearance that they had hoped for in the hotel's parking lot.

After admitting to hiding £416 million from HMRC, Bernie Ecclestone, 92, decided to pay almost half of his money to the taxman last week. He tried to get out of a court by claiming that the process would kill him before deciding to pay £652 million to the tax authorities. Now, Stephen Mullens, who had consulted the former motor racing chief since 1999, is under scrutiny by the lawyers' watchdog after failing to notify them of a separate court decision against him two years ago. Mr Mullens, 74, was ordered to pay taxes on £40 million in 'gifts' he received from the tycoon's ex-wife, Slavica. Slavica Ecclestone had behaved 'like a wealthy aunt,' the lawyer maintained that he was not liable to pay the tax.

SARAH VINE: Dominic Cummings was the architect of the program's triumph in many respects, as well as a great political strategist who shuffled (or in his case, shuffled) the corridors of power. Johnson, the frontman, Cummings the backroom brains, was responsible for calculating the shifts. They were a fantastic unit together, and Carrie got involved in Cummings' eyes at any rate.
