Ecclestones fifth in rich list

Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone and his wife Slavica have been placed fifth in this year's Sunday Times rich list

The couple, who control F1 holding company SLEC, are valued at £2.9 billion, £100m less than last year when they were third in the list.

The Duke of Westminster is judged the richest man in Britain with £4.7 billion, with food packaging businessman Hans Rausing, supermarket giant Lord Sainsbury and family, and London couple Charlene and Michel de Carvalho also coming in ahead of the Ecclestones.

The next highest motorsport-related entries are F1 teams bosses Ron Dennis and Sir Frank Williams. Dennis has risen to 176th equal with £180m, while Williams is up to 203rd equal with £155m.

The other motorsport-related entries in the top 500 are:
Rockingham oval investor Guy Hands - 230th equal with £140m
F1 Paddock Club boss Paddy McNally - 239th equal with £135m
Former GP driver Johnny Dumfries - 272nd equal with £120m
