The FIA has announced that former F1 race director Michael Masi has left the organisation
Masi had been in limbo since it was announced shortly before the start of the season and in the wake of the Abu Dhabi controversy that he would not have the race director role in 2022, and would be replaced by Niels Wittich and Eduardo Freitas.
However, he remained in the employment of the FIA and was still undertaking some of his previous tasks away from the circuits. He returned to Australia in April and since then the indications were that he would eventually leave the FIA once an exit plan had been agreed. In a statement issued on Tuesday, the FIA said that it “confirms that Michael Masi has decided to leave the FIA and relocate to Australia to be closer to his family and take on new challenges.
“He oversaw a three-year period as FIA Formula 1 race director and safety Delegate following the sudden passing of Charlie Whiting in 2019, carrying out the numerous functions he was tasked with in a professional and dedicated manner.Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes W12, Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing RB16B
