While I am a strong believer in the flywheel principal as a general practice, there are also times when radical change is in fact the critical element needed to move a company to the next level of success.
Worse, the CEO's surprise move adds an extra element of turmoil to a management team that has been blasted by shareholders for underperforming and lacking focus.
The other key element is the introduction of a commissioner to represent the FIA at grands prix - a move that is being echoed across all the FIA's championships.
