The FIA has actually revealed a shock separation of F1 Race Director Niels Wittich from as very early as Las Vegas GENERAL PRACTITIONER, with Rui Marques to take his location.
Having taken control of in a shared F1 Race Director function with Eduardo Freitas after the 2021 period, Wittich ended up being the single in the function from 2023 forward. He has actually been the essential from the FIA side for substantial duration up until the shock action.
Unlike their precursor Michael Masi, there was not substantial cry regarding the job done by Wittich albeit there were specific aspects to it which really did not appear as substantial. The FIA has actually specified that he has actually tipped down to seek brand-new possibilities.
It stays to be seen where and what function he has actually gone with. In his location, the FIA has actually trapped Marques in the function with substantial experience. He held the race director function in the F1’s feeder champions Formula 2 (F2) and Formula 3 (F3).
He will certainly begin his F1 Race Director function from as very early as Las Vegas general practitioner forward. It is uncertain already what pressed Wittich to take a brand-new chance. “The FIA can confirm that Niels Wittich has stepped down from his position as F1 Race Director to pursue new opportunities,” a declaration claimed.
“Niels has actually met his many obligations as Race Director with professionalism and trust and commitment. We thank him for his dedication and we want him the very best for the future. Rui Marques will certainly represent Race Director from the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
“Rui brings a wealth of experience having previously served as track marshal, scrutineer, national and international steward, Deputy Race Director and Race Director in various championships. Most recently, he held the position of Formula 2 and Formula 3 Race Director.”
