Bernie Ecclestone's corruption trial in Munich has been postponed for two days to allow the 83-year-old Formula One magnate to recover from illness.
Ecclestone's defence team presented the Munich court with a medical certificate confirming his illness and the judge allowed the court hearings to be postponed.
Ecclestone is accused of paying a German banker $50 million in 2006/7 to maintain his control of the motor sports empire he had built up over four decades.
He admits making the huge payment, not as a bribe, but as hush money after a blackmail attempt.
The banker was sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in prison in 2012 after being convicted of corruption.
