At the Portuguese Grand Prix, Vitaly Petrov made his debut as a Formula 1 steward. However, Petrov will not be able to train in the race due to a personal loss.
Today it became known about the murder of the father of the runner Alexander Petrov. He was reportedly shot dead in his home.
The FIA announced that Petrov resigned from the judges. His place was taken by Bruno Correia, driver of a safety car in Formula E.
Addition: F1 race director Michael Masi explained why Correia was chosen to replace Petrov.
“First of all, our thoughts are now with Vitaly and his family,” he said. – In terms of replacement, we are fortunate that Bruno, who has been a long-time FIA safety car driver in Formula E and WTCC, lives in Portimão.
He will join us on Sunday morning. We organized everything to test it for COVID-19 and solved the rest of the problems. You will be able to connect with the jury’s work from the beginning of the day. We are grateful to Bruno, but again our thoughts are on Vitaly and his family. “
