Niels Wittich's recent departure from his role as Formula 1’s Race Director has created waves of speculation and confusion across the motorsport world. The FIA's initial statement framed his departure as a voluntary step down “to pursue new opportunities,” expressing gratitude for his service. However, reports from Sky F1 tell a very different story, suggesting Wittich was not given a choice and that the decision was made unilaterally by the FIA. Craig Slater, a respected Sky F1 reporter, hinted that tensions between Wittich and FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem may have influenced the decision, raising questions about the dynamics within the FIA’s leadership and Wittich’s own recent race-management decisions.
