The FIA has suspended Derek Warwick from FIA driver steward duties on the eve of the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix for remarks made after Max Verstappen’s penalty in Spain. Warwick, a former F1 driver, was replaced by Enrique Bernoldi for the Canadian GP. Warwick’s suspension came after unauthorized media comments following the Spanish GP about the penalty on Verstappen for the clash with George Russell. Warwick’s statements on the penalty decision were not well-received, leading to his immediate suspension from steward duties for the Canadian Grand Prix. His critique of the FIA steward panel’s verdict and the way the interview was conducted were the main reasons behind the suspension, highlighting FIA’s concerns about public criticism and media disclosure.
