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
