FIA Suspends Warwick as Canadian GP Steward for Unauthorized Driver Remarks

FIA Suspends Warwick as Canadian GP Steward for Unauthorized Driver Remarks

Imagine a referee in a big sports game who talks badly about the players to the news.

That's what happened in Formula 1.

Derek Warwick, a former racer, was a referee (a steward) for the Canadian Grand Prix.

But he made some comments about current drivers that he wasn't supposed to.

Because of this, the people in charge said he couldn't be a referee at the race.

Another person took his place.

Warwick said he was sorry and will be a referee again at a later race.
