Former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone to become father at 89

Former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone is set to become a father for the fourth time at 89-years-of-age.

Bernie's wife, Fabiana Flosi, who is 45 years his junior, is expecting a baby boy this summer.

The birth would see Ecclestone run just a few years shy of the record for the world's oldest father, which is reportedly held by retired Indian wrestler Ramjit Raghav, who fathered a child at 96.

"Like all parents, we have only one wish: the child must be born healthy," Fabiana told Swiss newspaper Blick yesterday.
