Wittich set to be F1 Race Director

Formula 1 is expecting to have its regular 2022 FIA race director Niels Wittich at the Miami Grand Prix. Wittich and Eduardo Freitas were nominated for the post of the race directors, however, both tested positive for Covid – 19 earlier on. Wittich has also been the race director at all four grand prix so far with Freitas as his deputy.

Although compulsion testing has been dropped by F1 and some countries only require a Covid – 19 vaccination to enter, the USA still mandates a negative Covid report within the past 24 hours. However, for this post Formula E race director Scot Elkins was considered the most likely replacement and was kept on standby.

An FIA spokesperson told The Race at the time that the governing body would not “disclose any medical information regarding our personnel unless it is relevant to the running of an event”.
