The newest addition to the Ecclestone clan was born 32 years after Bernie had his third daughter. He welcomed his first child, Deborah, 65, in 1955 with his first wife, Ivy Bamford, and then came Tamara, 35, and Petra, 31, with his second wife, Slavica Radic.

The news of baby Ace's birth comes shortly after his dad made headlines in a recent interview with CNN where he made a scandalous statement about racism while praising Lewis Hamilton's campaign for diversity in the racing world.

Yahoo Sports recalls that Bernie and Fabiana tied the knot in 2012 and announced their pregnancy news earlier this year. The billionaire revealed in an interview that he didn't feel "unusual" about being a father at his age because he has had "plenty of time to practice."

HELLO! Magazine notes that the grandfather-of-five also shared his hopes for his son to learn how to play backgammon. Flosi, a Brazilian marketing director, however, didn't share the same enthusiasm as she said:

"Like all parents, we have only one wish: the child must be born healthy. Hopefully, he will never express the intention to do something with Formula 1."

Ecclestone, who is currently the Chairman Emeritus of the Formula One Group, revealed that he didn't believe Hamilton's campaign will do any good as "black people are more racist than what White people are." However, when asked to provide statistics to back up his claim, Bernie couldn't provide concrete evidence.
