Formula 1 commercial boss Sean Bratches has left his role to spend more time with his family in a move that comes on the eve of a season that could define Liberty Media’s ownership of F1.

The irony of Bratches’ exit is that it was he who played a key role in F1’s seemingly endless expansion, which has led to claims that this year’s packed 22-race calendar will harm personal lives.
