FOTA have decided on its structures and who will head each section.  It looks to me like they are setting up a new governing body with that structure.

It looks good to me to, but will Max allow them to operate without poking his nose every minute.

I'm surprised at Whitmarsh being unanimously agreed upon to lead on of the groups.

It is good on paper, but slightly aggravating that all the 'leaders' of the groups are from manufacturers (Ferrari, Renault, Honda, Toyota, McMerc) whilst none of the independent teams have real leadership in this group.  Surprising also that BMW do not have a 'leadership' figure in this list.  It shoots down the argument of even some of the manufacturers that the independent teams are the soul of F1.  I do not just say this from a Williams point of view, but I am surprised Red Bull did not chase for more power.
