Dont scoff the idea. It makes a lot more sense than having a secretive company or an out of touch rich pensioner running the show.
What has F1 management done for the sport lately? Look at their track record:
1. 2010 - most boring season ever in spite of rule changes.
2. Different teams getting different payments.
3. Some teams having vetos.
4. Moving races out of places where there is fan support and putting them in places where nobody cares and with TV coverage at an inconvenient time for most fans.
5. Number of teams/cars is dropping.
6. Sport is getting very insular.
7. Ruining great circuits.
8. Running a closed shop instead of letting anyone enter a car.
9. Medals system
10. Winner of most races wins championship.
11. Stupid ugly looking cars.
12. Drivers who pay to drive rather than being there on talent.
the list goes on. One thing you can say about F1 management is that they dont care about the fans.
