Ace Ecclestone on the path to racing royalty

Five-year-old Ace Ecclestone already looks like the best-connected rookie in motorsport history.

With Sir Jackie Stewart on one side ready to pass down racing wisdom, and his father Bernie Ecclestone on the other prepared to negotiate his first multi-million-pound deal before dessert, Ace hardly needs to worry about finding a mentor.

The Spider-Man on his shirt might be his current hero, but give it a few years and he’ll have the real-life superpowers of speed, strategy, and a family name that opens every paddock gate.

Most children dream of meeting their idols – Ace is growing up with his sitting at the dinner table.
