Formula One’s board of directors will be told to prepare for life after Bernie Ecclestone in a landmark report on the crisis-ridden sport presented on Tuesday.

At a meeting of Delta Topco this morning, the board of F1’s parent company will be shown a dossier on the state of the business amid a backdrop of U-turns on regulations, squabbling among the teams and increasingly wild criticism of the product from Ecclestone himself.

Telegraph Sport understands that the report, written by Jean-Marc Huët, the former financial director of Unilever and F1 board member, will address the sport’s stalling profitability, worrying lack of sponsorship revenue as well as key personnel, including succession planning after Ecclestone.
