Charlie Whiting, the head of Formula 1 for governing body the FIA and one of the most influential people in the sport for decades, has died aged 66.

Whiting suffered a pulmonary embolism on Thursday morning in Melbourne, where he was due to officiate this weekend's season-opening Australian GP.

Whiting was the official race starter and oversaw all rules matters in F1.

On the eve of the 2019 season. Very sad news.

Reading on his past life pre F1 Management.

 

Seems the theory poachers make the best gamekeepers is true.

 

Will miss those radio calls, "Charlie, Charlie..." and "Charlie did you see that?"
