Ratibor Raskolnikov Charlie Whiting was the race director of F1. He pushed for a lot of things pertaining to safety, especially after Jules Bianchi’s horrific crash in 2014 that ultimately took his life. But beyond that, he was the guy that all the drivers would come to about regulations and all the red tape that they have to deal with once they come onto the track. He wanted F1 to stay exciting, but also as safe as anyone could keep it. At the end of the day he was a genuine fan, just like the rest of us.
