On the other hand, Ecclestone has been in charge of Formula One for more than 30 years, therefore having enough knowledge to know how to run a series like Formula One. IndyCar clearly lacks a figurehead, as neither Tony G. nor Randy B. weren't able to be proper figureheads. But then again, who can be a proper one? Mario Andretti is probably too old by now, the same goes for A.J. Foyt. Michael on the other hand might be a bit too young, but they all got to start somewhere. But the most important point should be trust. After all, such a figurehead needs to be trusted by all team owners.
