Bernie Ecclestone has given a cool reception to some of Liberty Media's apparent plans for the future of F1.
One rumoured change is that the sport will move into the realm of internet streaming, even though the commercial success of Formula 1 was built on the F1 supremo's insistence that exclusive TV rights be sold to broadcasters.
When asked about that, Ecclestone told Brazil's Globo: "I have no idea how they can do both. If I had known how, I would have done it."
Ecclestone, 86, admitted that Liberty's methods seem almost diametrically opposed to the way that predecessor CVC ran F1.
"Absolutely. The way the Americans do business is very different to what we do in Europe," he said.
Currently, F1 is in uncertain times, with the Liberty deal not yet complete and Ecclestone apparently resisting the changeover.
He said: "If they buy the rest of the company, they can do what they want, although the regulations also involve the FIA."
The 2016 championship concludes in Abu Dhabi next weekend.
