Heading into a race weekend when the majority of the Formula 1 paddock struggles to see any daylight, the drivers are unhappy at being kept in the dark about the FIA’s decision to replace the race director Niels Wittich. The sudden departure of Wittich with just three races left in the season has raised eyebrows and put pressure on the new race director. The Grand Prix Drivers Association (GPDA) had called for more transparency from the FIA president before Wittich’s exit, highlighting the need for better communication between drivers and governing bodies. George Russell, speaking on behalf of the drivers, emphasized the importance of collaboration to address issues rather than simply hiring and firing. As the drivers adapt to the changes, they hope for a more inclusive and transparent dialogue with the FIA to improve the sport they all love.
