FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem has advised Formula One drivers to focus on their racing rather than inquiring about internal FIA matters, such as the departure of race director Niels Wittich, before the Qatar Grand Prix.

Leading steward Tim Mayer, the son of former McLaren boss Teddy, and Formula Two race director Janette Tan have also gone in recent days. “It’s none of their business. Sorry…I am a driver. I respect the drivers. Let them go and concentrate on what they do best, which is race.” “The drivers are getting over 100 million. Do I ask where they spend it? No. It’s up to them. It’s their right…we do whatever we do with the money. It’s our business. It’s also with them and their money. It’s their business.”He said he “lived free of charge” in the brains of critics in the media and did not need them or care what people said. He also rejected any suggestion that the FIA was in crisis and suffering a staff exodus under his leadership.
