"I'm very happy really for my wife, she's been looking forward to this happening for quite a few years so I'm happy she'll have someone after I'm gone"
Ecclestone doesn't care about age
"I don't see there's any difference between being 89 and 29,' Ecclestone said. 'You've got the same problems I suppose. It's alright, Bernie refers to the coronacrisis. "We're in Brazil at the moment so we have to wait a little while and see whether this little one is going to happen in Brazil or in England".
Ecclestone has built quite an extended family in his life. His eldest daughter Deborah is 65 years old. Bernie says the news has been received well by everyone. "Everybody is very pleased.
