Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has revealed he is looking for someone to succeed him at the head of the sport, as he prepares to face bribery charges in Germany.

"I've been spending time on this case, and to spend time on Munich I am not able to give what I normally would do, 24/7, to the business," the 83-year-old told the Financial Times.

"I've been looking, over the last few years, for somebody who can join me to assist with what I have to do. I will eventually be in a position, if I decide to retire, or unfortunately become dead, to have someone to step into my shoes."
