14-Nov-08: Rumours Surface of Ecclestone’s Split with Wife
Today is the 14th November 2008, and this is F1 Minute.
A number of UK newspapers are reporting that Bernie Ecclestone’s wife Slavica has moved out of the family home, and the possibility seems to be pretty high that a divorce will follow. Apparently Ms Ecclestone moved out whilst Bernie was at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Whilst what happens in Bernie’s personal life isn’t really any of our business, this could be the UK’s most expensive divorce and it may even affect the ownership of Formula 1.
The Telegraph is reporting that Bernie says his wife moved out due to the noise of building works next door, and he doesn’t know if divorce is on her mind or not. Slavica won’t comment on rumours that she has already spoken to lawyers.
Elsewhere today, there is talk that organisers of the Chinese Grand Prix are considering not extending their contract post 2010, as ticket sales have been poor, sponsors may be pulling out, and of course, costs are only ever going to go up.
That’s it for today, please join me again tomorrow for another F1 Minute.

Editing test with Safari.

Didn’t work. Now trying Opera.

No luck there, either. Now using Chrome.

…which also didn’t work. Now for Firefox.
Edit: Which works!

Haha… very true.
I can understand both Chrome and Safari being effected in the same way, but it seems odd that Opera is also having problems.
