Current Whitmarsh retires as FOTA Chairman

[MajorDanby]

So the end of what is the traditional 12 month cycle is here, with Martin Whitmarsh stepping down in his role as the Chairman of the Formula One Team Association.

Italy's Autosprint magazine claims that the new chairman will be Adam Parr, chairman of the Williams team. The vice chair position will also be changing hands with Toro Rosso’s Franz Tost reportedly to succeed Whitmarsh’s current deputy Stefano Domenicali. Ross Brawn and Christian Horner head FOTA’s technical and sporting arms respectively.

Hopefully that frees up Martin Whitmarsh to become a little more opinionated...

Not a criticism of Martin at all, i think he held the position with great integrity and impartiality.
