Stick to racing, FIA chief tells F1 drivers in latest spat

DOHA -

In an interview with Reuters ahead of the Qatar Grand Prix on Dec 1 which was won by Red Bull's four-time world champion Max Verstappen, the Emirati suggested the drivers should stick to what they know best.

"Do we have to tell them? When something in the teams changes, do they tell us?" Ben Sulayem said, when asked about the surprise departure of race director Niels Wittich before November's Las Vegas Grand Prix.

"We have the rules, we follow our rules. We don't follow someone else's rule. Simple as this."
