Bernie Ecclestone wants to live "long enough" to see as much of his newborn baby as he can

He told the Daily Mail newspaper: "It's all very good, I am very happy. It's different now, I'm more relaxed and my work is not so pressured so I can spend more time with him.'

"I just hope I live long enough to see as much of our baby as I can."

However, Bernie - who has daughters Deborah, 65, with first wife Ivy Bamford and Tamara, 35, and Petra, 31, with his second wife Slavica Radic - insisted he won't be changing nappies for his newborn son.

He said: "I doubt it. I will do what is asked."

Fabiana gave birth to Alexander Charles Ecclestone - who weighed 7lbs 1oz and is known as Ace - last week and said: "I'm very happy, it could not have gone better. We are thrilled as a family."

The family are currently quarantining at their home in Bern, Switzerland, amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

Bernie is making sure to stay inside as much as possible, as his age puts him at higher risk of developing complications from the respiratory illness.

The billionaire – who will turn 90 in October - is remaining positive, previously explaining: "Otherwise you'll break yourself. I just want everything to be good with Fabiana even if the isolation goes on longer."
