A Spanish motor racing official has defended controversial figure Carmen Jorda.
Renault F1 ambassador Jorda, an advocate of an all-female F1 series, was criticised as the FIA appointed her to the ‘women in motor sport commission’.
“This witch hunt seems unfair to Carmen,” Gonzalo Gobert, boss of the Valencia circuit, told Radio Marca.
“She is a friend and I agree with her, but perhaps her appointment to the commission was not well explained. The president is still Michele Mouton.
“It’s a good move because at least she is there for the debate.
