Formula One Heading For Messy Divorce

Speculation continues to surround Formula One’s dictator-for-life Bernie Ecclestone, after he claimed to be surprised by his wife’s announcement that she was seeking a divorce. Ecclestone and his wife Slavica have reportedly been working from separate offices at the beginning of November.

Divorce experts - or, as they are sometimes known, solicitors - are predicting that a divorce settlement could break records, although only if the laws governing divorce are repeatedly altered throughout the course of the proceedings in order to penalise anyone who looks like they might be winning.

Mrs Ecclestone, a former frost giant from Croatia, is expected to file for divorce on the grounds of her gnome-sized husband’s unreasonable behaviour. McLaren, Williams and a host of other teams not beginning with F are said to be queuing up to support her claim.

It is widely expected that she will walk away from her 23-year marriage with Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Australia, Brazil and Monaco, leaving her husband with nothing but Singapore, Bahrain, China and Malaysia.

Motorsport’s legendary Murray Walker, however, predicts that years of happy fairytale romance lie ahead for the Ecclestones.
