Ross Brawn takes the reins !
It looks like Ross will be heading F1 for Liberty Media , taking over from Bernie .
This is like a dream , to get a guy so experienced , and one who has made things happen everywhere he's appeared , yet seems to have made no real enemies in the paddock .
I am so excited , when lately I've been so disheartened about the state of the sport I've spent so much of my life following , to see this appointment .
This is the best news we could have hoped for !

This has been in the works for a long time. Ross has always been cited as a potential successor. I couldn't think of anyone better. He's a pretty honest and straight forward guy and is well respected throughout the sport. Bernie has another two years left in the sport and after that I think he'll be kicked out which is long over due. He has made a complete mess of so many things, I can't believe he has lasted this long.

Auto Bild magazine is cited as the source of this... is anyone familiar with it, is it a reliable source?

JA is clarifying the issue to some degree , saying he will not replace Bernie , but rather , head the sporting side of things , as Mr. E carries on for a while on the commercial side .

I rather suspect Ross' skin is thicker than most - after all. he's been round the F1 block several times, and succeeded at Ferrari where many other good people (Dominicali is a good example) have failed.

Based on what Chase Carey has said in the recent past, I'm still expecting a triumvirate style leadership team, with Ross Brawn and Zak Brown occupying two of the three top spots. Brawn's experience is on the sporting/technical side. Brown's experience is more on the commercial/sponsorship side. We'll see.
I just realized... Brawn and Brown. Now all we need is someone named (insert your submission here) ______."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
