LONDON (Reuters) - Formula One's new owners Liberty Media may have made a mistake in ousting commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone immediately after completing their takeover of the sport, according to former FIA president Max Mosley.

Ecclestone, 86, was replaced by American Chase Carey on Jan. 23 as chief executive of Formula One and appointed 'Emeritus Chairman' - a position without a clearly defined role for the Briton.
