CVC's decision with regards to selling Formula 1 could change how the sport is run according to Bernie Ecclestone.
The potential sale has been on the cards for months, but Ecclestone is now urging CVC co-chairman Donald Mackenzie to make a decision.
"I'm hoping that Donald Mackenzie will decide if he wants to dispose of the company or not," he said, "because if not we will be running it perhaps in a different way than we do today and we can make a lot of improvements."
Ecclestone, 85, has been openly critical of the hands-off approach of FIA president Jean Todt, and the fact the competing teams and manufacturers cannot agree a way forward.
The Briton said recently that F1 has now reached the point at which he would not bother spending money on a ticket as a spectator.
"I have been running things with my hands tied behind my back a little bit," Ecclestone told Tuesday's business section of the Telegraph newspaper.
"I'm still running the company like a public company," F1 business journalist Christian Sylt quoted him as saying.
"There are lots of things I would love to do which I haven't done because CVC has been very clear that the company has to be run like a public company," he added.
Last week, it emerged that F1's board commissioned a report to look into the running of the sport, amid speculation it might urge them to plan for life after Ecclestone.
"It was a report to see if the company needs help," Ecclestone confirmed on Tuesday. "The result is that we could do with some help with servicing our partners."
