The FIA is rolling out new training programs for motorsport officials

Apparently the FIA has been hard at work developing comprehensive training programs for officiating racing at all levels, and it has released those programs today.

One wonders why this was kept under wraps instead of being loudly communicated, especially during F1’s whole “ahead at the apex” Max Verstappen dive-bombing era of the past couple years. Those controversies frequently ignited discourses about officiating standards and stewarding experience and that sort of thing. You’d think the FIA would have wanted to get out ahead of that by crowing about this upcoming program. It might even have headed off that shouty letter from Formula E drivers last week.
