Gary Hartstein has been given the boot as F1's medical rescue co-ordinator.
I believe The Prof hand selected him - so I guess Bernie didn't like Dr Hartstein but wouldn't replace him during Sid's life.

Writing on his Twitter account, Hartstein said that he had relished his time in F1.

"Have just been informed that president of the FIA and president of FIA medical commission have decided not to renew my Formula 1 contract," he wrote.

"Not sure about the 'whys' of the decision, but not down to me to know. Brazil will therefore be my 247th and last Formula 1 Grand Prix. It's been a life changing experience and something I'll never forget."

Bit odd ?

How very strange.

the only.comparable name that i can think of is Steve Olvey, who is working in America iirc.

not being funny, but if Sid chose him, then surely he is THE best person for the job. Regardless of what Napoleon and Warhol think.

Strange decisions from the FIA and Napoleon go hand-in-hand.

Funnily enough this is the first real stinker that I can think of since Napoleon has been running the fleet, rather than just the flag bearing ship. wink

This is nothing, however, for Warhol.

I wonder if perhaps a Frenchman will replace him? whistle

Take a look at what has been going on in the WRC with the regs/calander/promoter/entry fees/timing - a shambles.
