Several prominent individuals from the sport, including former Formula One CEO Bernie Ecclestone and Lawrence Stroll, have been disclosed on Jeffrey Epstein list
The late American Epstein was charged with and jailed for allegedly trafficking underage minors in 2019.
Epstein’s list has recently been made public.
Epstein committed suicide while imprisoned for unexplained reasons, primarily because the guards were meant to check on him every 30 minutes but did not show up the night he died. His paperwork from an earlier case circled numerous other well-known faces, even though he was no longer among us.

In essence, Epstein’s list is a court filing from a 2015 lawsuit that Virginia Giuffre filed against her co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell. The lawsuit was recently made public and included several references to Formula 1 employees.
The list includes several prominent F1 figures

Former F1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone, owner of the Aston Martin team Lawrence Stroll, owner of the Renault team Flavio Briatore, former driver Eddie Irvine, Pedro Diniz, and world champion Jacques Villeneuve were among the names that emerged from the list.
Even though Epstein mentioned all of these individuals in the 2015 court documents, this list does not represent the clients he served. It is important to note that many of the people whose names have been unsealed in court cases are innocent of any wrongdoing. This just indicates that the American was aware of the aforementioned F1 notables.
Ecclestone, Briatore, and other names that surface in Epstein’s court filings, however, are extremely worrisome since they have a history of involvement in legal disputes, frauds, and other scandals.
Who are the other top celebrities listed in Epstein’s list?
In addition to several F1 figures, Jeffrey Epstein’s list includes some other well-known global luminaries. Though they were in his circles, they were not necessarily implicated in any crimes with the American sex offender.
Other well-known individuals include the late pop star Michael Jackson, Britain’s King Andrew, magician David Copperfield, Donald Trump, Stephen Hawking, and French modelling agent Jean-Luc Brunel. Other well-known people include Doug Band, a former aide to former President Bill Clinton; co-founder of Yucaipa Companies Ron Burkle; journalists Vicky Ward and Sharon Churcher; and Eva Dubin, wife of billionaire Glenn Dubin.
The identities of more than 170 of Jeffrey Epstein’s pals were revealed in recently published court records.
