Apparently today was quite the chaotic day with the release of these new regulations. I’ve been informed that each team has sent a technical representative to meet with the FiA about the release of the regulations at some point today. Apparently the released regs were never finally approved by all teams, and at least two teams are threatening to walk away from the series if they go ahead as released today. There are a LOT of angry team members across the grid.

After a bit more digging, specifically the concerns are around the active aero for the front and rear wings which will NOT be driver controlled, but triggered via control systems and software. The teams feel this is a huge risk in the event of failure. Additionally the concern is that the cost cap would prohibit the cost of replacement active aero parts as well.

Kevin Magnussen to leave Haas at end of 2024 Formula 1 season. Esteban Ocon is most likely to replace him who has reportedly signed for Haas for the F1 2025 season.

Well, I don't think so at all.
Ocon is a very quick driver and way more better than Magnussen who often drives very dirty!
Hulkenberg is way more better than Magnussen btw.

He will be announced today according to the BBC.

Wittich steps down as f1 race director.

I think he did a very good job.

I hope the recent discussions on overtakes and red flag were not the trigger.

I suspect one or more teams put the boot in regarding timings of safety cars and red flags.

He has been under scrutiny previously for being slow with safety cars etc to be fair.

"Steps down"? Like Binotto?

He was fired at least call it what it is.

FIA "He has stepped down from his position to pursue new opportunities"

Wittich: "I was Fired"

If Wittich was fired, the FIA have just compounded the distrust that fans and most teams have for them.

Add wing gate, tyre gate to the list

Tyre and wing-gate(s) would have nothing to do with the race director.



Its a strange one thats for sure. See no reason why he has been 'fired' or stepped down really. Only thing that could be is some incidents havent been noted by race control (im sure he isnt alone in spotting those incidents)

Very strange.

Bring back Masi.
