About this episode

The FIA's race director Niels Wittich abruptly stepped down - or was fired, depending on who you ask - this week. So, on the back of some bizarre officiating over the last few races, something needs to be done - and we’re here to discuss it. Are they actually putting any effort into improving officiating? Why are penalties only being enforced hours after races have finished? And how can we make F1 more accessible by improving the communication around controversial decisions?
