First, they highlight the governing bodies' commitment to delivering improvements in the sport, before announcing that work has started on the creation of a strategic plan which will aim capitalise on F1's growing appeal across the world.

There was, however, no further information issued on what these plans may entail, nor was there any indication of a potential timeframe they are working towards.

Additionally, despite highlighting F1's intention to 'seize opportunities', no hint was forthcoming as to where these opportunities could arise from, or how they plan to achieve their target.
