Max Mosley thinks F1’s new owners have made a mistake by dumping Bernie Ecclestone.<\/p>\n
Although given the honorary title ‘chairman emeritus’, 86-year-old Briton Ecclestone has been effectively ousted and replaced by Liberty Media’s Chase Carey and Ross Brawn.<\/p>\n
For years, Ecclestone and Mosley was a formidable double-act, and now the former FIA president thinks Liberty has erred in sidelining his long-time friend.<\/p>\n
“I would never have dropped Bernie in the way Liberty Media have,” he is quoted by the respected F1 correspondent Roger Benoit.<\/p>\n
“It would only have been necessary to keep him doing what he’s really good at: negotiating with the organisers and the promoters,” Blick newspaper quoted Mosley as saying.<\/p>\n
“Then, the Americans could concentrate fully on what has been neglected to date: the digital side of the business. But Liberty has bought everything and believes it can make it better, so let’s wait and see,” Mosley added.<\/p>\n
