A report in the Guardian is saying that CVC may be looking to sell a large part of their stake in Formula One and Bernie will not continue regardless of the outcome in the Munich trial:

I honestly don't know whether this is a good or bad thing for the sport, I don't like a lot of Bernie's divide and conquer tactics and his policies on circuits over the last ten years, but at least he has a background in motorsport. The risk is that a purely business focused person will take over.
This has yet to be picked up elsewhere so it may be just be an unsubstantiated rumour, but the Guardian isn't usually far off with its F1 news.
