Streiff apologizes
The FIA had just promised action against his words on Suzuka
On live radio, he accused the FIA, Jean Todt and Dr. Gérard Saillant of not having been able to impartially judge the accident that occurred to Jules Bianchi last October at Suzuka, calling a series of friends and therefore inevitably biased to discuss the case. now though Philippe Streiff, intimidated by a promise of legal action, thinks better of it and does so in writing.
“I admit that I indulged in hasty considerations. The interview was taking a long time and I said things that I regret – we read in a statement released by the government body on behalf of the former F1 driver – My words were unfounded and for this reason I ask the press to remove them from their media. The leaders of the Federation are aware of my health problems so I apologize for the insults I have launched which are not deserved."
