Formula One's new owners have made a trio of appointments to bolster the motorsport division headed up by Ross Brawn to "research fully the direction and implications of future regulations of the sport".
On completing its takeover in January, Liberty Media installed Chase Carey as the sport's new chairman. Unlike predecessor Bernie Ecclestone, who attempted to run every aspect of the sport himself, Carey has delegated to two managing directors -- Brawn (motorsports) and Sean Bratches (commercial).
Brawn, who oversaw championship success with Benetton, Ferrari and his own team before returning to the sport in a management capacity, has previously complained that Formula One was too reactionary when making rule changes in previous seasons.
