Michael Masi speaks to media before the Abu Dhabi GP qualifying session, Abu Dhabi, UAE, December 11, 2021.
Masi’s former job is to be split between Niels Wittich and Eduardo Freitas as part of a restructuring unveiled on Thursday by the FIA’s president Mohammed Ben Sulayem. Masi’s future was thrown into doubt after he altered the safety car procedure to allow for a last lap of racing that cost Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton a record eighth title and handed a first to Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.
The new race control management team will be in place in time for the first pre-season test in Barcelona on Feb. 23, with FIA veteran Herbie Blash assisting Wittich and Freitas as permanent senior advisor. The changes were unveiled by Ben Sulayem in a speech posted online.
