Like most hugely successful sports, Formula One is jammed pack full with superstar names. Just like David Beckham in soccer or Tiger Woods in golf, the big name drivers in Formula One have millions of fans around the world worshipping their every move and hoping that their man can triumph each time out.
But the drivers aren’t the only big names in Formula One. Many of the team bosses are personalities in themselves. Some – like Renault boss Flavio Briatore – are almost as well known for their appearances in celebrity gossip columns as they are for the great work they’ve done for their teams. But it is not just the drivers and team bosses who are famous – because even the bosses of the series have their own slice of fame. Bernie Ecclestone, who runs the commercial side of Formula One, is a well-known figure in most households and is well renowned for being one of the richest men in Britain. Max Mosley, president of motor racing’s governing body, the FIA, is also widely known.
