F1 owners could oust Ecclestone over bribery charge
Acording to reports
Bernie Ecclestone’s days at the helm of formula one could be numbered, reports by Germany’s Suddeutsche newspaper and the SID news agency claim.
"Formula one could soon have a new ruler," said the SID wire report.
The Suddeutsche Zeitung said there are "detailed preparations" being made to potentially replace the 82-year-old Briton, if Munich prosecutors decide to charge him with corruption over the Gerhard Gribkowsky bribery scandal.
The report said Delta Topco, the Formula One Group’s majority CVC-owned holding company, is considering stepping Ecclestone down and replacing him with an interim chief executive if "as expected" he is charged in the coming weeks.
