\"\"<\/a>FIA Director of Formula One, Charlie Whiting, has sadly passed away on March 14, 2019, in Melbourne, aged 66, as the result of a pulmonary embolism, three days before the Australian Grand Prix which will open the F1 season. He began his F1 career in 1977 working at the Hesketh team, then in the 1980s at Brabham. He\u00a0has been an integral part of the organization of the FIA Formula One World Championship since he joined the Federation in 1988, and has been the Race Director since 1997.<\/p>\n

FIA President Jean Todt said: \u201cIt is with immense sadness that I learned of Charlie\u2019s sudden passing. I have known Charlie Whiting for many years and he\u00a0has been a great Race Director, a central and inimitable figure in Formula One who embodied the ethics and spirit of this fantastic sport. Formula 1 has lost a faithful friend and a charismatic ambassador in Charlie. All my thoughts, those of the FIA and entire motor sport community go out to his family, friends, and all Formula One lovers.\u201d<\/p>\n
