Formula One chairman Chase Carey has accused his predecessor Bernie Ecclestone of stunting the sport's growth in the final years of his four-decade reign.
Carey, who on Friday will mark his 100th day at the helm of F1 following Liberty Media's £6.4billion takeover in January, believes Ecclestone's failure to create a long-term vision has left the sport behind its major rivals. Carey also defended Liberty's early record in which they have made very few changes to a sport which Ecclestone, 86, transformed from an amateur show into a multibillion-dollar global business.
Carey made his debut in the paddock at last September's Singapore Grand Prix before formally taking over from Ecclestone at the turn of the year.
