Sergio Perez Handed Major Boost as FIA ANNOUNCES Re…read more.
Sergio Perez has received a significant boost heading into the Miami Grand Prix as the FIA confirmed the return of a crucial figure in the race weekend setup. The Red Bull driver, who is currently battling to stay in the title fight alongside teammate Max Verstappen, will benefit from the presence of FIA race director Niels Wittich, who is returning to duty after a brief absence.
Wittich had missed the Chinese Grand Prix due to illness, leaving the responsibilities to Eduardo Freitas. However, the FIA has now confirmed that Wittich will resume his duties in Miami, ensuring consistency in race control operations. This return is seen as a positive development by many drivers, including Perez, who has previously expressed the importance of having clear and consistent communication from race officials.
Perez has had a solid start to the 2025 Formula 1 season, securing multiple podium finishes, though he is still searching for his first win of the year. With Verstappen leading the championship, Perez knows that every small advantage counts if he is to close the gap. The return of Wittich is expected to help ensure smoother decision-making during the race, reducing the risk of controversial calls that could impact the outcome.
As the F1 paddock heads to Miami, all eyes will be on whether Perez can capitalize on this boost and challenge Verstappen for victory on the streets of Florida. Fans are eagerly anticipating a fierce battle between the Red Bull teammates this weekend.
