Senior F1 official David Campbell has left the sport.<\/p>\n
Late in 2010, Bernie Ecclestone appointed Campbell – whose most famous achievement was the transformation of London’s O2 Arena – to succeed the retiring Paddy McNally.<\/p>\n
McNally headed the lucrative trackside advertising company Allsport and the Paddock Club.<\/p>\n
Campbell was therefore tipped as a likely successor for 81-year-old Ecclestone.<\/p>\n
But a report in the Independent quoted CVC as confirming Campbell “has left”.<\/p>\n
“It didn’t really work out,” said the source.\u00a0 “Bernie wanted to take the business in a different way, and that wasn’t the basis on which we hired David.”<\/p>\n
