Prior to becoming involved in the circuit and event operation business Whitaker's career followed an unusual path that saw him working for bosses as diverse as Bernie Ecclestone, Jean-Marie Balestre, Max Mosley and Ron Dennis. Along the way, he's experienced the sport from every possible angle, including that of manufacturer and entrant in F1 and the WRC.

Stella suggested that under the previous structure the contribution of Prodromou in particular had been restricted. "I think there were some limitations somehow associated with the model," said Stella. "In aerodynamics, we wanted to have a technical director that leads aerodynamics. Full empowerment to this technical director. "And we wanted to unleash a very strong resource that we had internally, and that, for some reasons was under-utilised, like Peter Prodromou, one of the most competent experts in F1 in relation to aerodynamics.
