Chase Carey will lead the all new Formula 1 senior management team on behalf of new owners Liberty media with his two lieutenants Ross Brawn and Sean Braatches set to do do the work in the trenches as a new era for the sport has been ushered in very swiftly and with immediate effect.
The triumvirate spoke of their respective appointments and in their early messages the will to improve the sport while seeking to work closely with the stake holders is clearly a collective goal.
Chase Carey, Chairman and CEO of F1, commented, “I am excited to be taking on the additional role of CEO. F1 has huge potential with multiple untapped opportunities. I have enjoyed hearing from the fans, teams, FIA, promoters and sponsors on their ideas and hopes for the sport. We will work with all of these partners to enhance the racing experience and add new dimensions to the sport and we look forward to sharing these plans overtime.”
Managing Director, Motor Sports, Ross Brawn said, “It’s fantastic to be returning to the world of Formula 1. I’ve enjoyed consulting with Liberty Media these last few months and I’m looking forward to working with Chase, Sean and the rest of the Formula 1 Team to help the evolution of the sport. We have an almost unprecedented opportunity to work together with the teams and promoters for a better F1 for them and, most importantly, for the fans.”
Managing Director, Commercial Operations, Sean Bratches added, “I’m very excited to be joining Formula 1 and contribute to the continued growth of this extraordinary global brand and sport. Formula 1 is one of few truly global tier one sports, and I am encouraged by the manifold opportunities to materially grow the business, work closely with current and future sponsors, race circuits, television rights holders as well as create next generation digital and on-site race experiences to best serve the Formula 1 fans.”
