A few weeks after Niels Wittich departed from Formula 1, another race director is leaving. Janette Tan, the replacement for Rui Marques, who was promoted to Formula 1, left before she entered her first weekend as Formula 2's race director. This has been confirmed to GPblog.
Tan has reportedly been removed from her post by FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, but this has not been confirmed. For now, Rui Marques returns as race director of F2. In Qatar, he will combine this work with F1.
Earlier on Thursday, rumours started to circulate that steward Tim Mayer had been released from his duties. He worked at the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. The circuit organization was fined because fans stormed the track. Comments were rumoured to have been made that might have disturbed Ben Sulaym. The FIA President has apparently decided to send Mayer away.
