Heinz-Harald Frentzen and his wife Tanja gave birth to a baby daughter today.

The Jordan driver took his wife to hospital in France when she went into labour, shortly after his return home from the San Marino Grand Prix on Sunday.

The baby, called Lea, was born 12 hours later, at 12:50 local time.

"We are absolutely over the moon," said Frentzen. "She is as beautiful as her mother. I am quite speechless."
