Bernie Ecclestone will not skip this weekend’s Monaco grand prix.
On Tuesday, the judge in the F1 supremo’s corruption trial in Munich adjourned the case because Ecclestone, 83, is suffering from a bad cold.
"I have a terrible cold," Ecclestone admitted to Roger Benoit, the veteran correspondent for the Swiss newspaper Blick.
"But I have to get over it, because on Wednesday I have an important court date and on Thursday I am going to Monaco," he ’croaked’, according to Benoit.
Indeed, the diminutive Briton was back in court on Wednesday, telling judge Peter Noll that he was feeling somewhat better.
