Money, Fire & Racing – F1 Genius Bernie Ecclestone Grabs F1 World’s Attention With Latest Big Screen Project

The former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone is coming up with a documentary on his life in F1. BAFTA-winning film director Manish Pandey is helming this project. The 8-part documentary series named ‘Lucky!’ will be a detailed feature on Ecclestone’s journey of building Formula 1.

The documentary will feature the former F1 CEO and his story at the pinnacle of motorsport. Bernie gave exclusive rights to his story to Manish Pandey and his production company, Jiva Maya. Pandey also produced the BAFTA-winning film, Senna, featuring Ayrton Senna’s life story.

In the teaser, we can majorly see three things: money, fire (cars burning) & of course racing. Fans are particularly excited to watch the ruthless ex-boss of F1 and hear his personal perspective. The documentary feature’s first episode, “Forged by War” is set to come out in December.

Reactions to Bernie Ecclestone and his documentary feature ‘Lucky!’

Bernie worked in F1 for almost 4 decades before Liberty Media took over F1 in 2017. This series will be a touching and exciting ride for fans as they would get to experience the 92-year-old’s journey in F1.

It is difficult to imagine the precision and focus needed to run a global sport like F1. Managing international stakeholders along with teams and drivers ain’t a job for the faint-hearted.

There is recognition for the director Manish Pandey as well. The Senna movie was an amazing experience for many F1 fans. No wonder people will expect highly from an award-winning director.

Ever since Liberty Media took over F1, there arguably has been a void of someone like Bernie in the paddock. He was such a lively individual who ran the sport for so long. It will be exciting to hear from him again.

Besides the experts, fans are curious to know when and where Lucky will be aired in their countries. The documentary will be aired in Austria, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and Switzerland on the DAZN network.
