FIA President Jean Todt is taking action against former
Formula One driver Philippe Streiff as a result of comments he made about the
review of Jules Bianchi’s accident in Japan last year.
Streiff claimed to a French television station that the
Accident Review Panel set up to investigation Jules Bianchi’s accident during
last year’s Japanese Grand Prix was set up with the sole purpose of clearing
the FIA of any blame in the accident.
The FIA released a statement on behalf of President Jean
Todt and President of the FIA Medical Commission Gerard Saillant to say that
they are dismayed by the defamatory and insulting comments made by Streiff, who
is wheelchair bound following a Formula One testing accident in 1989.
The matter is now in the hands of their lawyers following
the insulting and malicious attack on the reputations of Mr Todt and Mr
Saillant.
