Bernie Ecclestone has become a father for the fourth time aged eighty-nine.
The former Formula One boss and wife Fabiana Flosi have welcomed a boy named Ace.
The birth sees 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.
Bernie told Swiss German news organisation Blick that he's very proud of his newborn son, while Fabiana revealed the birth only took twenty-five minutes.

Bernie is already a dad to daughters Deborah, 65; Tamara, 35; and Petra, 31.
The couple now live on a Brazilian farm north of São Paulo, where Fabiana runs a coffee plantation.
Bernie retired as F1 chief executive in 2017.
