Speaking upon the controversial situations, Perez reckoned that there were moments where the higher-ups ‘lacked control’. As a result, Wittich was fired and was quickly replaced by the next best option. Moreover, the Mexican believed that someone always agreed to a situation while others negated the previous claims.
In sport, there is always someone who agrees and someone who disagrees. Sometimes I think that at this moment there is a bit of a lack of control. In fact, they just fired the race director, Niels. So now we will have a new race director.
