Report: Ecclestone in €100m settlement

Bernie Ecclestone has reportedly agreed a deal with German prosecutors to end a high-profile corruption case brought against the Formula 1 supremo.

According to Suddeutsche Zeitung, the 83-year-old agreed a €100m [£79.8m] settlement on Saturday which will see all charges dropped.

The report also claims that witnesses due to give evidence in Munich on Friday were told not to attend court.

Formula 1 is in the midst of its summer break after last weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix. The 2014 season resumes with the Belgian GP on August 24.
