Jurgen Schrempp gets married

DaimlerChrysler boss and McLaren F1 supporter Jurgen Schrempp has been under pressure of late because of the company's poor performance and as a result of legal actions from former Chrysler shareholders, is clearly not too worried about life. He is reported in the German press to have got married on Tuesday to his personal assistant Lydia Deininger, who is only 20 years his junior.

DaimlerChrysler refused to confirm that the wedding had taken place.
