When Liberty took over there was a lot of hiring, to create a proper structure but many of Ecclestone’s old guard remain, including the chief legal officer Sacha Woodward Hill, who has been with F1 since 1996; Ian Holmes, the global director of media rights, who joined in 2001; the chief financial officer, Duncan Llowarch, who joined F1 in 2002; and Chloe Targett-Adams, the director of promoters and business relations (who creates the F1 calendar), who was hired in 2009.

Among the post-Liberty takeover hiring’s are F1’s sporting director Steve Nielsen; Ellie Norman, the director of marketing & communications; Frank Arthofer, the global head of digital media and licensing; and recent recruit Ben Pincus, the director of commercial partnerships. It’s a strong group, by all accounts, and so while Domenicali brings new ideas, there is likely to be some stability as well – all of which is good news for the sport.
