Formula 1: Former race director Michael Masi formally leaves FIA

Former Formula 1 race director Michael Masi has formally left motorsport’s governing body, the FIA.

The move comes four months after an FIA inquiry found “human error” was responsible for the incorrect application of the rules in the 2021 title-deciding Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Masi has “decided to leave the FIA and relocate to Australia to be closer to his family and take on new challenges”.

There was no mention of the Abu Dhabi controversy in the FIA statement.

Masi’s failure to follow the sporting regulations during a late safety-car period at Yas Marina resulted in the world championship changing hands.
