Formula 1 could be poised for a big change at the top, according to a report.

Finland's Turun Sanomat newspaper claims sources have revealed that Zak Brown could be set to take over from Bernie Ecclestone.

American Brown is well known in F1 as the head of Just Marketing, the leading sponsorship agency representing several high-profile F1 team backers.

A turning point for Ecclestone, the report suggests, was late last year, when he was refusing to give in to Renault's demands for more income.

It is claimed the F1 chief executive was overruled by CVC's Donald Mackenzie in order to guarantee the French carmaker stays in Formula 1.

The report also claimed that, if he is to be replaced, Ecclestone's preferred successor is Niki Lauda, although the Mercedes team boss said in an interview with German newsmagazine Focus that he is critical of recent goings-on in the sport.

"We should negotiate behind closed doors and then present a solution," he said, referring to talks about the future of the sport.

The 2016 Formula 1 season begins with the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday.
