WHO ARE THE NEW MEN RUNNING F1?

Chase Carey Carey (left of picture) joined Columbia Pictures in 1981 and played an important role in developing links between the movie business and the cable TV networks. He moved to Fox in the late 1980s, helping to launch Fox News and Fox Sports before taking over satellite service Directv. He first joined Liberty Media when it bought Directv but later returned to Rupert Murdoch’s empire as president of 21st Century Fox. He moved to F1 when it became clear he wouldn’t get the top job in the Murdoch empire.

Sean Bratches Bratches (right of picture) joined the cable and satellite sports channel ESPN in 1987 and rose through the ranks to become head of sales and marketing in 2005, playing a key role in moving ESPN into new media, notably allowing pay-tv customers to stream content over the internet. He was one of the first TV executives to recognise the importance of esports.
