Las Vegas Grand Prix: Niels Wittich has stepped down from his role as FIA Formula 1 Race Director with immediate effect, marking the end of his tenure in 2022. Wittich initially shared the position with Eduardo Freitas as part of a dual replacement structure following Michael Masi’s departure. However, in 2023, Wittich became the sole Race Director, overseeing all Formula 1 races.

The Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) announced Wittich’s departure on Tuesday and confirmed that Rui Marques would take over the role starting with the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Marques, a seasoned figure in motorsport, brings a wealth of experience to the position.
