Formula 1 needs to be looking ahead to the post-Bernie Ecclestone era warns Ferrari and Fiat president Sergio Marchionne.
This comes amid reports the powerful manufacturers including Mercedes may be pushing for the retirement of the F1 supremo in the coming months.
“There is much work to do,” said Marchionne when asked about the general state of the sport amid a tumultuous political climate at present.
“Ecclestone is very good at negotiations but sooner or later we all have to retire,” the Italian is quoted by La Repubblica.
“And when that is, we will have to re-think everything and build a more solid F1. With a real structure,” Marchionne added.
He said the sport would get a big boost if more manufacturers decide to compete, like Audi.
“It would be perfect,” said the Italian-Canadian. “Ferrari built its myth by beating the best – beating Manor does not build a myth.”
