The Stewards commented “Unusually, this incident occurred when neither car was on a push lap. Had Car 63 been on a push lap, the penalty...

Wittich replaced Massi after the Abu Dhabi debacle in 2022, and his short tenure is said to be because of disagreements with FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayman. Since the controversial Ben Sulayman took over a number of senior...
