Something stinks about him and the FIA. Obviously the BBC can't say what they think they know, but it has to be 'something' for them to bother reporting on the departure of woman that virtually no one has even heard of. In fact for them to be tracking the story at all...Forester1965 said:
How long before Liberty engineer a split between F1 and the FIA?
I suppose as soon as they have enough non permanent, street tracks to run a championship outside of an FIA veto? Silverstone needs FIA clearance for all of its other motorsport championship rounds.
I assume that Vegas, Miami, etc. couldn't give a monkey's about the FIA.

Madrid and Chicago waiting in the wings, too.Silverstone needs FIA clearance for all of its other motorsport championship rounds.

For me, FIA vs F1 owners is more a case of which one I hate the least. Both suck and have gone hand in hand to make the sport a farce. F1 could go on their own but would need their own tracks but who on earth (apart from our American rights owners/saudi investors) want to see more American street races or dull racing in the Middle East?

Perhaps if there is a coup to discredit the FIA via digging up dirt on MBS (probably an easy enough task), that might be why several people signed that open letter of confidence in his role - to protect the FIA and the sport itself. It's not in everyones interest to separate the sport from the FIA, even if there is corruption at the FIA.
It would certainly be a very different F1 calendar without them!

How to put this politely... The ME countries are rich and influential enough to say to the FIA "shove it up your a*rse". It's the other circuits that can't.
True, but they'll always want 'their man' MBS or others, involved high up in the organisation they're paying all that money too.I guess a space can be found on the board at liberty..

Hasn't it mainly been thus ? Bernie with FOCA vs FIA.A period of relative harmony with Max & Bernie transformed the sport and made it much safer.
But Liberty Media has it's own agenda which goes against the grain of sport.
Media companies should not control sports events.

Also the F1 at yas pays its way, I heard they only need to sell out the VIP boxes and that’s the hosting fee paid for. This was before they added another floor to the VIP section.
