A female member of the Williams F1 team has been fired after she refused to attend the Bahrain Grand Prix on moral grounds.
The event was given the go-ahead last week following a meeting between the FIA, Bernie Ecclestone and the teams. None of the parties involved raised any concerns.
Despite this, a member of the teams catering staff has refused to attend which has resulted in the loss of her job. It’s believed they came to a mutual agreement as she had signed a contract to cover all 20 races.
The team refused to comment on the matter, but had they allowed her to miss the race and fly home to the UK, it’s feared many staff would have done the same to avoid the possible trouble they may encounter.
