Future uncertain
Wittich steps down as Formula 1 race director!
A bombshell in the premier class of motorsport: German Niels Wittich is no longer race director of Formula 1!
Wittich wants to pursue "new opportunities", the FIA announced. It was not revealed what the 52-year-old wants to do in the future.
Sole race director since 2023
He took over the position from Australian Michael Masi after the controversial finale in Abu Dhabi in December 2021 and initially alternated with Portuguese Eduardo Freitas, but has been the sole race director since 2023.
Successor will be Rui Marques
Wittich will be succeeded by Rui Marques from the Las Vegas GP. The Portuguese driver has been Race Director in Formula 2 and Formula 3 for the past two years.
"Rui brings with him a wealth of experience, having previously worked as a marshal, scrutineer, steward, deputy race director and race director in various championships," said the FIA in a statement.
