Zak Brown has admitted he would be keen for a bigger role in Formula One, amid speculation he will be taking up a role with F1's new owners Liberty Media.
The American stepped down as CEO of CSM Sport & Entertainment, his own company, fuelling speculation that his role in F1 is set to increase.
Brown has previously been responsible for bringing major sponsors Johnnie Walker, Martini and UBS into F1.
"I would love to be involved in Formula One, as I have been for 15, 20 years, and I think I've got a lot to contribute," Brown told Sky Sports. "There's a lot of different ways to be involved in Formula One so I think everyone's getting a little ahead of themselves about what role I'm going to play."
However, he does not think he will replace Bernie Ecclestone as some have said. Instead, he thinks that F1 will be ruled by a team rather than one man.
"I don't think anyone is going to be 'the new Bernie'. I think you're going to see grow and become some sort of management team over time. The sport is too big for anyone individual, it's a big multi-billion dollar business," he said. "I'd love to participate as I have done for the last couple of decades in the sport and I'm very open to what that might look like."
