A marshal working the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix has been removed following a tweet saying the individual hoped Lewis Hamilton had an accident similar to Romain Grosjean’s fiery wreck in the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix.
The message was written in Arabic and posted on Saturday morning, which translated as "I hope he has an accident like Romain in Bahrain,” per ESPN. The FIA was alerted about the matter and investigated. A spokesperson confirmed to multiple outlets that the individual would not take part in the Jeddah event.
The individual, whose account is now private, posted an apology, per ESPN, “I would like to apologise to SAMF (Saudi Arabian Motorsport Federation) and Lewis and announce my resignation from my duties on track.
