Holy poo poo.

I talked to him for like 5 minutes in 2016 Saturday morning before qualifying in Montreal. I told him I needed more cutouts in the fence since we had to cover the front straight. He got it done for me.

He was a very good dude.

poo poo. For all the issues F1 had, Charlie knew the sport inside and out and seemed to genuinely want to push the sport forward safely and fairly, even if he didn't always manage it. I can't think of anybody who could fully fill the role, esp with the race only days away.

lol at being aware enough about who Laurent Mekies is and what he was doing at the FIA but not being aware of the relatively huge poo poo storm when Ferrari hired him and all the accusations of the FIA losing personnel to F1 teams potentially spreading secrets.

Well, yeah, you don't survive under that type of boss unless you are very flexible about things. You'll notice that once Bernie was gone he kept right on going. Welp, whoever takes his place will be a big change.

Everyone at Scuderia Ferrari is deeply saddened to hear that Charlie Whiting has passed away.

Comment from Team Principal Mattia Binotto
“Charlie was a true professional and extremely knowledgeable, but more than that, he was a wonderful person, who always treated everyone with respect. A tireless and enlightened motorsport expert, he helped make F1 safer and better. He was a pillar of Formula 1. Our sport is diminished by his passing and we have lost a friend. He will be greatly missed.”

The funniest thing I remember about this, was a throw away line from Mika Salo who said "We (Ferrari) had access to all of the other teams data, it's not that big of a deal" or something along those lines, that was quickly redacted and never mentioned again. He was referring at the time that this was happening when he was a driver for Ferrari.

Alliot got McLaren in trouble in 1994 when he accidentally revealed the MP4/9 had a banned auto upshift feature (his Larrousse he drove for the rest of the year didn’t have it).
