The Bambinos and the Banks
Stories have been swirling around Formula One about a US$235 million lawsuit recently brought in the English courts against the owners of Formula One. Until now, no hard evidence has been available to enable Formula One fans to assess the merits of the case and the impact it may have on the sport. In this exclusive report, autosport.com's legal expert Thomas O'Keefe sheds light on the affair
We should have known that times were hard at the Ecclestone household when we saw Bernie's oldest daughter, 22-year-old Tamara, taking a job as a Formula One TV journalist, interviewing the likes of Grand Prix drivers Niki Lauda and Arturo Merzario (and making a good job of it) in the Inner Sanctum of Karl Heinz-Zimmerman's motorhome at Monza, the very track where Tamara's mom and dad met in 1981.
What could possibly be the source for such distress at Bambino Holdings, Ltd., the Ecclestone Family Trust entity named after Tamara and Petra, which functions as the trust Bernie Ecclestone set up for wife Slavica as well as the two daughters?
