Published by

Bernie Ecclestone is a British business magnate and the former chief executive of Formula One – Tom Cruise looked like a spitting image of him at Miami GP 2023.

There have often been rumours that Tom Cruise could play the lead role in the biopic of former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone and the actor’s latest look makes fans believe that he is the ideal choice for the role.

Ecclestone is best known as the founder and former CEO of the Formula One Group, a corporation that owns and operates Formula One racing.

He still owns the sport’s commercial rights, making him the de-facto “boss” of Formula One. As the CEO of F1, the British business magnate took Formula One from a niche racing competition to a global phenomenon over a four decade career. The man dubbed “F1 Supremo” by the British tabloids finally gave up the helm in January 2017, when Liberty Media bought F1 for $4.4 billion.
