Verstappen backs plans to replace Whiting

Verstappen backs plans to replace Whiting

Max Verstappen has praised the measures put in place by the FIA to cope with the aftermath of Charlie Whiting's sudden death. Whiting passed away suddenly ahead of the Australian Grand Prix, and his many tasks have been split up among several people in Bahrain.

As in Australia, Michael Masi will again be the substitute race director this weekend.

Christian Bryll will be the official race starter in Bahrain, and a third official will also do some of Whiting's former tasks.

Red Bull driver Verstappen backed the moves to replace Whiting.

"They have done well, as it is a very difficult task," he said in Bahrain.

"Over time we will know what all the changes will be, but I think that on the track, everyone knows what to do and copes quite well with their tasks."
