LONDON (Reuters) - Formula One Chief Executive Bernie Ecclestone has identified Red Bull team boss Christian Horner as the man he wants to succeed him when he finally relinquishes his grip on the sport.

Ecclestone, who has built Formula One into a global money spinner over the past four decades, has always dismissed talk of retirement but is now 83 and is facing legal challenges relating to a 2005 business deal.
