Sir Harry Nuttall, 4th Baronet (born 2 January 1963) is a British entrepreneur specializing in sports marketing and a former racing driver. Since 2012, he has held the position of senior advisor with the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team. He succeeded to the Nuttall baronetcy in 2007 upon the passing of his father.
Personal life
Nuttall is the son of Sir Nicholas Nuttall and Rosemary Caroline York, who is the daughter of Christopher York. His education includes attending Eton College from 1976 to 1981 and later American University between 1981 and 1985.
In 2001, Nuttall was involved in a short-term relationship with Birgit Cunningham, which led to the birth of their son Jack Cunningham-Nuttall in June 2002. Although he initially acknowledged paternity, he later questioned it until DNA testing confirmed his fatherhood. He demonstrated to the Child Support Agency (CSA) that his financial capacity allowed for only £5.40 weekly child support payments. After inheriting the baronetcy in 2007, Nuttall's reported income fell to zero, prompting the CSA to discontinue child support contributions.
In July 2002, Nuttall wed Dalit Cohen, with whom he has two more children.
