F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone turns 86 on this date. Before running the show, it is worth remembering that Ecclestone did enter a couple of grands prix himself during the 1958 season but never qualified his Connaught for the race.

The first attempt came at the iconic Monaco Grand Prix; the second was at Silverstone, though Ecclestone only fielded the car in that instance. Fellow British driver Jack Fairman was at the wheel but he too failed to qualify.
