Jeremy Clarkson has aimed a light-hearted pop at Bernie Ecclestone over the former F1 boss’ eye-watering fine.
Bernie Ecclestone, the former F1 supremo, has been sentenced to 17 months in prison, which has been suspended for two years, after admitting to fraud. He failed to disclose over £400 million held in a Singaporean trust, but managed to avoid jail time by agreeing to repay approximately £653 million in a civil settlement with HM Revenue and Customs. In light of this news, former Top Gear star Jeremy Clarkson took a lighthearted dig at Ecclestone’s situation in his column for The Sun Newspaper, joking about the massive £330 million fine he received for tax irregularities. Despite the legal troubles, Ecclestone remains unimaginably wealthy, with a fortune estimated at around £2 billion. Clarkson, known for his love of Formula 1, has been seen in the F1 paddock on multiple occasions this year, attending races such as the Bahrain Grand Prix and the British Grand Prix as a guest of Alpine.
