 | | Bernard Charles Ecclestone (born October 28, 1930), commonly known as Bernie, is the president and CEO of Formula One Management and Formula One Administration, and as such is generally considered the primary authority in Formula One racing. |
 | | His first racing experience came with 500cc Formula 3 Series; he drove at a very few events, and gave up in 1951 after an accident at the Brands Hatch circuit when his car landed in the car park on the outside of the track. |
 | | Immediately after the end of World War II, Ecclestone went in to business trading in spare parts for motorcycles, and formed the Compton and Ecclestone motorcycle dealership with Fred Compton. |
