Charlie Whiting may quit his role as Race Director for Formula One in pursuit of a job at a team.
F1's long-serving top FIA race director and starter is in talks with a couple of teams and it could strike big controversy, according to Germany's Auto Bild.
The report said that Whiting, 64, held talks with various teams last weekend at Spa. Whiting's Formula One career dates back to when he was a mechanic for Bernie Ecclestone's Brahbam team. He became F1's technical delegate in 1998.
Auto Bild claims that he became race director in 1997 due to Ron Dennis threatening to pull out of the sport if Whiting joined Flavio Briatore at Benetton.
