Formula One chief executive Chase Carrey, who was appointed to the position after the Liberty Group took over the F1 in 2017, said that the reviews he received so far have suggested that the sport is much "more fun" than it used to be earlier.

He further stated that they are continuously looking to improve the sport both on and off the track, La Gazzetta Dello Sport reported.

"It's too early to celebrate. But it's interesting that in Germany some people came to me and said that it was more fun than it was two years ago," Sports24 quoted Carrey, as saying.

"We are well on the way to improving the show on and off the track. We've seen some great races and the fight at the top is very exciting," he added.

Emphasizing on driver's role in F1, Carrey said that despite having strong brands and great teams, it is the drivers who play the main role in pushing the sport forward.

Chase Carrey took over as the chief executive of F1 after British business magnate Bernie Ecclestone stepped down from the position in January, last year.
