Bernie Ecclestone's wife Slavica has officially filed for divorce according to reports in the British media.

The duo have been married for 24 years, however, on Thursday Slavica confirmed reports that she is divorcing the F1 supremo.

A spokeswoman for the 50-year-old said the announcement had been prompted by media speculation about the Ecclestones' personal life.

The former model, who will be represented by Liz Vernon, one of Britain's most highly-rated divorce lawyers, could be in line for a significant portion of her husband's fortune. Bernie is believed to be worth in excess of �2.4b.

Simon Bethel, a family law specialist, told the BBC: "Given Mr and Mrs Ecclestone were reputed to be worth �2.4bn in the 2008 Rich List, this case may see the highest award to a wife in legal history."
