Motoring magnate Bernie Ecclestone’s passion for speed seems to have passed on to his two-year-old son, Ace, who beamed with delight when he hit the ski slopes for the first time.
The young man took his first ski lesson in Gstaad, Switzerland, under the supervision of his father and mother, Fabiana Flosi, 46.
Brazil’s Fabiana looked nervous, but Ecclestone, 92, smiled as an instructor guided Ace down the slope using a swim ring to keep the boy upright.
Bernie Ecclestone’s passion for speed seems to have been passed down to his two-year-old son, Ace, who beamed with joy when he hit the ski slopes for the first time.
Two-year-old Ace took his first ski lesson in Gstaad, Switzerland, under the supervision of his father, Bernie Ecclestone, and mother, Fabiana Flosi.
Ecclestone’s daughters Tamara, 38, and Petra, 34, also joined in on the family fun. Tamara took a photo of her youngest daughter, Serena, age two, in a red snowsuit.
Ecclestone, who is worth an estimated £3 billion, was Formula 1 chief executive until 2017.
He lives in a £23m chalet called Le Lion in the exclusive resort town of Gstaad, where neighbors include Italian fashion designer Valentino. The property is where Ecclestone and Fabiana married in a private ceremony in 2012.
He also owns a nearby mountain, Glacier 3000. Tamara revealed on her reality television show that her father had made the extravagant purchase simply because “he liked it.”

The British businessman, who also owns the Hotel Olden in Gstaad, appeared relaxed as he enjoyed watching his family on the slopes. But later this year he is due to stand trial on charges of concealing more than £400m in tax.
Ecclestone has pleaded not guilty to a fraud charge brought after an investigation by HM Revenue and Customs. The trial will take place at Southwark Crown Court.
