ECCLESTONE’S FORMULA
To mark the start of the 2012 Formula One season, ESPN Classic will also be showing a new documentary on F1 impresario Bernie Ecclestone. Rich and powerful, he's one of the last living legends whose fame and authority know no bounds. His battlefield: the Formula One race track. Starting with nothing, Ecclestone managed to build an empire and lay down the rules for an army he controls like a puppeteer. Pitting himself against mighty foes - particularly governments and world powers - he has always come out on top, amassing one of the biggest fortunes in the world.
