What you need to know about F1, Mr Carey
Liberty Media and Formula 1's new chairman Chase Carey have a lot to learn about its latest acquisition. But while many pitfalls loom large, the biggest possible gain could prove surprisingly simple
Dear Mr Carey,
We have not met formally, but did speak briefly in Singapore. I'm the journalist who asked you on the grid whether you had attended grands prix before, to which you replied "yes". Asked "how many?" you responded "a couple", before being whisked away by Donald Mackenzie, under the pretext of "we have to go", as I asked "which ones?"
It was no great surprise that CVC's honcho intervened, for it was he who accused me of "writing bullshit", which I viewed as a double compliment. Not only did this busy man devote time to reading what he considers to be bovine manure, but I equally interpreted the comment as CVC-speak for "You tell the truth, if inconveniently so".
