The family of Formula One tycoon Bernie Ecclestone have told of their relief after his daughter's acrimonious divorce finally ended at a five-minute court heard.

But when their heavyweight legal teams came before a judge again today it emerged the warring pair have agreed what will be one of Britain's biggest ever divorce settlements.
Speaking after the hearing, Mr Ecclestone told MailOnline: 'I'm just glad it's over. Petra is too. She has been very tolerant and has been concerned about James.
'Now we are going for a family meal, but we were doing that anyway. No champagne, no big celebration. Just Petra and her sister, me, her mother and the family.'
Ms Ecclestone's sister Tamara also posted her support online, with an Instagram message reading: 'You're a diamond dear, they can't break you.'
The couple, pictured together in 2015, married in Italy six years ago and had homes in Los Angeles and London's Chelsea
