Let someone else take control (4,1,4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

take a back seat

(Other definitions for take a back seat that I've seen before include "Occupy a subservient position (behind the driver?)" , "Assume a secondary role" , "Adopt support role" , "Deliberately adopt a subordinate role" , "from behind sofa?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
