The FIA won’t remark on what it depicts as ‘unverified’ reports. However, it says it would ‘possibly uncover clinical data about our staff assuming that it was pertinent to the running of the occasion.’
Freitas and Wittich are the main two nominated race directors for the 2022 season. They were named as replacements for Michael Masi following an audit of the dubious 2021 season finale in Abu Dhabi.
Michael Masi is at present in Australia, and his return to Formula 1 seems a tad unlikely. The more probable choices would be British veterans Herbie Blash, long-time agent to the late Charlie Whiting, and Colin Haywood, who was due to be the deputy race chief in Miami.
Be that as it may, neither plays filled the part of F1 race chief previously. Scott Elkins, who is the DTM race chief is another plausible option, while Formula 1’s sporting director Steve Nielsen is further back in this race.
