Charlie Whiting

Cannot ever think of an interview with Charlie..

Appreciate that he must be busy and be seen to remain impartial etc but I would love to see an interview with him or perhaps a feature regrading his role throughout a typical race weekend??

Good point.

I think I remember the briefest of chats when Brundle grabbed him in passing.

Just found this from 2009, short insight in to CW http://www.fia.com/en-GB/automotive/issue-15/sport...

I think that his contract forbids him from any TV interviews, like Herbie B. Unfortunately, Bernie does not have the same clause.

When he retires... I'd love to see a biography or something or a program about him and his job. I bet there are some excellent stories to tell.

Interview following the pretty bad accidents in the support races at Monaco this year:

Watch harder, he's been interviewed a few times, not many i grant you but i guess being race director he's rather busy most of the weekend, there are more races than just F1 you know

'I think that his contract forbids him from any TV interviews, like Herbie B.'
Probably only about his 'current duties'. I recently filmed an interview with Herbie Blash about his years at Team Lotus with Jochen and the Lotus 72 and we absolutely didn't have a problem with the 'higher-up'.

There was that time when EJ tried on a grid walk...

Eddie: "Can we have a few words?"
Charlie: "No."

LOL! Brilliant!

Well a warts and all autobiography would be a best seller I think!

In Italy (especially around Maranello) such a book is called an "equestrian head bedspread"
