The daughter of F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone insists she has no plans to follow in her father’s footsteps.<\/p>\n
27-year-old Tamara Ecclestone, the eldest of Ecclestone’s two daughters, has worked as a F1 reporter for Sky Italia and earlier studied at the London School of Economics.<\/p>\n
But she told the Mail on Sunday that she has no plans to replace her dad, the British billionaire who for decades has sat at the helm of formula one.<\/p>\n
“Recently my father declared that he could envisage a female CEO at F1 in the next three years.\u00a0 I wouldn’t advise anyone putting a bet on that woman being me,” said Tamara Ecclestone.<\/p>\n
“Those are big shoes to fill and my feet are completely the wrong size for that job.\u00a0 I would hate to be the person to undo his years of amazing work.\u00a0 I’d reduce the whole operation to chaos within hours,” she joked.<\/p>\n
At any rate, Ecclestone said her diminutive father – who turns 81 in October – has no plans to step down.<\/p>\n
“For my dad it’s not about making more money, it’s about the next successful deal,” she said.<\/p>\n
“It’s not like he needs an extra few million.\u00a0 He doesn’t need to work and hasn’t needed to do so for years — but he’s got too much of an active mind to ever consider retirement.<\/p>\n
“For him the financial rewards are secondary to the passion he feels for what he does,” she added.<\/p>\n
