That's an easy statement to make while not being the one responsible for the health and safety of everyone on and around the track. Also you have to consider what exactly is Charlie responsable for, that has been detrimental to F1? The lack of epic races certainly isn't his fault. Also, is his successor likely to be any better? ...just some stuff to think about.
His responsabilities haven´t changed during the last years, but his attitude towards certain circunstances, yes. I am not implying that its only his fault but he has been too cautious sometimes even damaging the image of F1 with endless processions of the cars behind the safety car when the track was OK.

Will this improve with a theoretic change? I dont know, but let´s see what happens.

Did I miss something? I didn't notice any reports on Charlie leaving.
I don't think that this is true.
