The umbrella organization approach FIA is always the same: Four experts act as race commissioners, one is from the country where the race takes place, two are from other countries and the fourth is a former racer. In recent years, they are in this place as FIA Commissioners worked Derek Warwick, Tom Kristensen, Emanuele Piro, Mika salo, Heinz Harald Frentzen, Danny Sullivan, Nigel Mansell and, of course Alan Jones. But meanwhile the 72-year-old Australian he no longer has the will or the joy.
Former racer Formula 1 is for Australian colleagues website speedcafe said that his will to Formula 1 had passed him by. "Pulled below the line, I sobered up, as I would say, as to which direction Formula 1 had taken. This makes me seriously consider giving up my position as race commissioner. I don’t like a lot of what’s going on right now. And it wouldn’t be fair to criticize the FIO and at the same time work for it."
And what is Alan Jones so resentful? “We have a policy that is written in incredible detail. We have, say, on the fifth page, in the third paragraph, in the fourth line, a paragraph that states what penalties we should impose if, for example, the battery cable falls off. Personally, however, I believe that Commissioners must have some freedom in sentencing."
Alan Jones he wasn’t thrilled to be Sebastian Vettel in Canada he received a city mark-up penalty, which cost him a victory against Lewis Hamilton. "When it comes to scenes between two racers, then I wonder: Why do we have a former racer among the commissioners who can’t say: this was really a racing case now. Decisions do not have to be made on the basis of a book."
Alan Jones he also doesn’t like that some racer is penalized if his team fails. “If it is a mechanical problem, then the racer should not receive the penalty, but the manufacturer or the team. Teams get their share of the money from total receipts based on points earned. So why not deduct points from teams and not penalize racers? Teams do not suffer and not racers. And not at all spectators paying for tickets to see a good show."
