Charlie Whiting could reportedly be looking for another job in Formula 1.
That F1's long-serving top FIA race director and starter is in talks with a couple of teams could fire a major controversy, according to Germany's Auto Bild.
The report says that Whiting, 64, held talks with various teams last weekend at Spa.
Whiting's F1 career dates all the way back to when he was a mechanic and engineer at Bernie Ecclestone's Brabham team. He became the FIA's technical delegate in 1988.
The report claims that he was made race director in 1997, after Ron Dennis threatened to pull McLaren out of F1 if Whiting accepted Flavio Briatore's offer to join Benetton.
