Harry Nuttall (racing driver)



Sir Harry Nuttall, 4th Baronet (born January 2, 1963) is a British sports marketing entrepreneur and former racing driver. He has been a senior advisor to the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team since 2012. He inherited the Nuttall baronetcy on his father's death in 2007.

Personal life
Nuttall is the son of Sir Nicholas Nuttall by his first wife, Rosemary Caroline York (1934–2007), the daughter of Christopher York. He had one sister, Tamara Nuttall (1967–1997). Nuttall was educated at Eton College from 1976–81, before studying at American University from 1981–85..

For eight months of 2001, Nuttall was in a relationship with Birgit Cunningham, after previously knowing each other. She became pregnant in October 2001, and their son Jack Cunningham-Nuttall was born in June 2002. According to Cunningham's own account, Nuttall at first accepted responsibility for the child, but over the following months, in her words, "slowly, he disappeared from my life". At Christmas 2001, Nuttall met another woman, Dalit Cohen, and they were married in July 2002, two weeks after the birth of the boy. Cunningham took her story to the press, and a long feature appeared in the Evening Standard the day before Nuttall's wedding, revealing the birth of their son. Despite dating him for the better part of a year, including sexual relations, Cunningham retconned in the article that Nuttall "... didn't really register on my Richter scale". Nuttall continued to dispute his role in the birth of his son until forced to take a paternity test. Nuttall proved to the Child Support Agency (CSA) that he could afford only UK£5.40 per week (equivalent to £ in ) in child support.

Married with two more children, he inherited the Nuttall baronetcy in 2007 on the death of his father. Shortly after inheriting the baronetcy, Nuttall proved to the CSA that his income had been reduced to zero, and the CSA stopped any further child support payments to Cunningham.
