Bernie EcclestoneA British investment group bought a controlling stake in Formula One on Friday in a move that is not expected to change the way the racing series operates on the track.

CVC Capital Partners Ltd. said it planned to keep Bernie Ecclestone, the longtime commercial head of Formula One, as chief executive. Ecclestone, a 75-year-old billionaire, has been with Formula One for 26 years.

"We are delighted to have CVC as a shareholder whose long-term strategies and vision will provide the stability for teams, promoters and manufacturers," he said. "They are knowledgeable about motor sport and make an ideal partner for Formula One."
