Slavica Ecclestone files for divorce

After reporting last week that Slavica Ecclestone had left the house she lived in with her husband and F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone, it was today confirmed that Mrs. Ecclestone filed for divorce. The pair has been married since 1985 and they have two daughters.

A statement released on behalf of Slavica Ecclestone read: "It is formally announced that Mrs Slavica Ecclestone has filed for divorce. Her legal representative is Liz Vernon at Clintons. Mrs Ecclestone has asked that her privacy and that of her children should be respected."

Because of the fact that Bernie Ecclestone is estimated to have €2,8 billion, this could well be the most expensive divorce in history.
