I was going to suggest Sir Jackie Stewart but with all respect to Sir Jackie, I think he is too old for the job. What a shame he wasn't considered when the appointment of Max was made.
I think Max's successor will need to be someone who is more a politician as the job encompasses so many aspects of motorsport. To my mind David Richards would be an ideal candidate but why would he relinquish his role as head of BAR?
Of course we shouldn't overlook people like Colin Hilton at the MSA who has a great deal of experience in heading a motorsports body.
Like Knowlsey, I suspect it will be someone obscure that we have never heard of, possibly another Frenchman.
