Bernie Ecclestone has played down the effect the ongoing takeover of F1 will have on the running of the sport. Liberty Media are in the process of taking a controlling interest in F1 from CVC Capital Partners. The American firm have initially bought a 18.7 per cent stake with their full $4.4 billion takeover expected to be completed early in 2017.Speculation that former Mercedes and Ferrari chief Ross Brawn is being lined up for a senior role by F1s incoming owners in recent days has turned the spotlight on the future of Ecclestone, F1s chief executive. Brawn attracted to F1 returnIn a wide-ranging interview with F1s official website, Ecclestone was asked what he could tell fans about where F1 was headed amid rumours about who would be in charge in the future.Well, I can assure them that as far as the company is concerned it stays as it is - there will be no change, he replied.There can be different shareholders - and the shareholders that are now coming on board are probably going to be more commercial than CVC were. That is about it. Ross Brawn has confirmed hes held talks with Liberty Media, but wouldnt confirm whether hell be working with them in the future When Libertys takeover of F1 was announced in September, the American firm said Ecclestone would remain as CEO, with the 86-year-old separately telling media he had been asked to stay on for three years.Brawn has told Sky Sports News HQ he would certainly be attracted to a full-time role helping shape F1s future under its new owners, having already done some consultancy work for them.However, he denied he has already signed up.The F1 Gossip ColumnPrimarily I was approached by Liberty Media to give them an overview of Formula 1 from my perspective so Ive done some consultancy but thats really the extent of it so far, Brawn told SSNHQ.Im just helping them understand how Formula 1 works, how the teams work, the perspective of a team. Obviously theyve got a relationship with CVC, but they wanted to understand how the team works, views on how F1 can change in the future. Speaking to Autosport, Ecclestone denied suggestions Brawn had already signed a deal to directly replace him, adding that the former Ferrari technical director would instead be absolutely first class in a rule-making role at the FIA, F1s governing body.It has been widely speculated that Brawn could feature as a dream team partnership overseeing the sport alongside marketing guru Zak Brown.

LONDON -- Britain is turning to the top official in Canadian tennis to improve its fortunes on the world stage. Michael Downey was hired as the chief executive of Britains Lawn Tennis Association on Tuesday, ending his nine-year tenure as president and chief executive of Tennis Canada. Despite being extremely well funded, mainly due to the profits handed down from Wimbledon, British tennis has little top-level talent outside Andy Murray, who this year became Britains first mens singles winner at the All England Club since 1936. The 38th-ranked Laura Robson is the only Briton in the womens top 50. "The opportunity that Andy Murray is now a Wimbledon champion, two-time grand slam champion, is immense for tennis in Britain," said Downey, who was formerly the regional president for Canadas largest brewery, Molson Canada. "Andy Murrays biggest contribution to tennis in Britain is winning. Thats when you want to write about him, thats when people want to follow him, thats when kids are going to go out, pick up racquets and want to be Andy Murray. And I believe theres a bevy of young talent thats coming up in Great Britain that is going to follow Anndy Murray to the podium.dddddddddddd." Downey will take up his new role on Jan. 6 as the replacement for Roger Draper, who announced in March that he was stepping down. In 2012, the LTA invested 73.2 million pounds ($109 million) but with little tangible reward. Murray, who has been brought through largely outside the LTA structure, is the only British man in the top 150 in the rankings. The LTA said that Canadian tennis enjoyed significant growth at the grassroots and elite level under Downey, with more than 1.2 million people playing tennis at least twice a month. "This sport has far more importance in Britain than in Canada," Downey said. "The expectation will be higher of myself in this position." LTA chairman David Gregson said Downeys annual salary will be 300,000 pounds ($480,000) -- less than half of what Draper was earning. "We set out to recruit a CEO with true success in business, with exceptional leadership credentials and ideally with significant knowledge of tennis," Gregson said. "Michael demonstrably fits the bill perfectly and was the unanimous choice of our recruitment panel."
