The position of F1 CEO has been filled since January 2017 by Chase Carey, who has held office since F1 was purchased by the American firm, Liberty Media. Should the report prove accurate, it would see F1’s management contingent be made up of largely ex-Ferrari personnel. Currently, the post of managing director is held by ex-Ferrari design boss, Ross Brawn, while Jean Todt, former sporting director at Scuderia Ferrari, is the current FIA president. Carey is still expected to retain involvement in the sport, however, as he also holds the reposition of F1 chairman and will retain links to F1 in “an outward-facing role.”
