Bernd Mayländer: 25 years in the safety car – a fascinating career!
On December 4, 2024, we will report on the layoffs in motorsport, including Janette Tan and Tim Mayer, as well as Bernd Mayländer's iconic safety car career.
Bernd Mayländer: 25 years in the safety car – a fascinating career!
Formula 1 is once again hit by a shock: As the Motorsport Network reports, two key people have been fired by the FIA. Janette Tan, who was hired as Formula 2's new race director for the race in Qatar, was fired before her first assignment. With immediate effect, Rui Marques, who already works as Formula 1 race director, will take responsibility for both series. The reason for these abrupt layoffs remains unclear, but the situation is causing unrest in the motorsports community.
In addition, the FIA has also parted ways with Tim Mayer, an experienced race commissioner. Mayer served the world association for 15 years and, according to reports, was most recently involved in a conflict with FIA President Mohammed bin Sulayem. Such incidents cast a shadow over the stability within the institution responsible for regulating high-profile motorsport.

"We used to have two vehicles, but the second was a normal road vehicle. Today everything is much safer," explains Mayländer. Despite these technical advances, his goal remains the same: to ensure the safety of drivers. “The best races are the ones without a safety car because then nothing dangerous happened on the track,” he adds.
The FIA's announcements and Mayländer's continued presence stand in stark contrast to one another, and the motorsport world will wait to see how these developments will play out in the coming race.
