What does it mean for the GPMA?

The departure of Burkhard Goeschel from BMW at the end of August creates an interesting situation for the Grand Prix Manufacturers' Association as Goeschel is leading the talks in F1. The GPMA is currently not saying whether this will have any effect on the running of the organisation but it is by no means certain that Goeschel will leave the GPMA role as well as his BMW job and it could be a good thing as it will mean that he can spend a great deal more time concentrating on getting a solution in F1 as he will no longer have to fit in the work alongside his other responsibilities.

We await an announcement from the GPMA.
