According to Sky, it's been a case of Liberty Media v a joint bid from Discovery and Liberty Global. This suggests slightly less control by Malone than might popularly imagined.
"Another of Mr Malone's businesses, Liberty Global, which owns Virgin Media, has also been exploring a deal, pitting it against its sister company.
Liberty Global has been working with Discovery Communications on its bid, while Silver Lake, the private equity firm which owns the talent management agency WME-IMG, has also been looking at F1".
