The Formula One chief executive, Bernie Ecclestone, says he is "100 per cent" relaxed following claims from Germany that he faces charges that could end his role at the head of the sport.

Following a two-year investigation, it has been reported in the country that Ecclestone is to face charges from the prosecutor's office in Munich for two financial offences, but the 82-year-old denies any wrongdoing.
