The FIA's head doctor American Gary Hartstein took to Twitter today to announce that he was informed by the FIA president and the head of the FIA Medical Commission that his contract will not be renewed into 2013.
The New Yorker was appointed to the FIA in 1990 and worked alongside F1 doctor, Professor Sid Watkins. In 2005, following Sid Watkins retirement Hartstein was appointed as the FIA's Chief Medical delegate to Formula One.
It will be interesting to see who the FIA will pick to replace Hartstein. In my opinion, the timing of the announcement is no coincidence as Formula One returns to the US this weekend for inaugural United States GrandPrix at Circuit Of The Americas in Austin Texas.
