“Especially with the new management at Ferrari now, Brawn admits, quoted by Reuters. Scuderia Ferrari has in fact largely shaken up its lines before this 2019 season, notably putting Mattia Binotto at the head of Gestione Sportiva.

They recognize the need for Formula 1 to be fairer. We must recognize the importance of Ferrari, its history and the unique place it occupies in the sport. We also need to find a balance between this recognition of Ferrari as a major team and a fair position for the rest of the teams.

We find the right balance in the distribution of income, because we know that if we get a fairer distribution of income, we will have a better Formula 1. It is a fact. »

A major area of ​​work for Liberty Media, just like on the future 2021 technical regulations, another project in the coming weeks.
