F1 will relocate from Bernie Ecclestone’s current offices in London, new CEO Chase Carey has announced.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media as he swept into power, replacing long-time F1 ‘supremo’ Ecclestone, Carey said: “We will not be able to run the business from Bernie’s offices. They are too small.”<\/p>\n
Replacing Ecclestone, 86, are Carey and managing directors Ross Brawn (sport) and Sean Bratches (commercial).<\/p>\n
Referring to Ecclestone’s 6 Princes Gate, Knightsbridge headquarters, Carey told the Daily Mail: “There isn’t even room there for me now. We will find somewhere else.<\/p>\n
“I am living here most of the time in an apartment in central London, and formula one will still be based in the United Kingdom.”<\/p>\n
Sources report that although Ecclestone said he is being “deposed” but staying on board as honorary chairman, the diminutive Briton was still at work this week.<\/p>\n
Carey said: “It will be up to us where and when his advice is of help and appropriate.”<\/p>\n
And he told the Sun newspaper: “Bernie is a one-man team — it was not right in today’s world.”<\/p>\n
