Perhaps no sport had a closer connection to Jeffrey Epstein than Formula One. The latest batch of millions of documents from the Department of Justice last month shows that the late sex offender was enmeshed in the highest levels of the motorsport, meeting and doing business with some of its biggest names and key executives. FOS has a detailed list of F1 figures who appear in the documents. Not all of the people mentioned corresponded with Epstein directly; some are mentioned in conversations with Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in a scheme to sexually exploit and abuse minors. Bernie Ecclestone, the founder and CEO of the Formula One Group from 1987 until it was sold to Liberty Media in 2017, is the most prominent name mentioned in the latest set of filings. Aston Martin team owner Lawrence Stroll is the most prominent name in the files who still has an active role in F1. His son, Lance, is an active driver for Aston Martin. A spokesperson for Aston Martin told FOS that Stroll did not attend a "big dinner" he was invited to at Epstein's NYC home. Full details in bio.
