The Italian media had its claws out as it tore into Ferrari and Carlos Sainz for their failure to score any points at the Australian Grand Prix.
But Formula 1 race director Niels Wittich also came in for plenty of criticism. Corriere della Sera took aim at the German for his role in the awarding of the late time penalty to Sainz, which dropped him out of the points positions from fourth place.
The Spaniard was punished by the stewards for causing Fernando Alonso to spin in a restart just two laps from the end. That incensed CdS, which compared Wittich to former race director Michael Masi and called for the FIA to take action.
