- FIA offered Masi new role but he will instead return to Australia
- Masi was sacked in February over mishandling of Abu Dhabi GP
Michael Masi, the former Formula One race director who was at the centre of Lewis Hamilton’s failed bid to win a record eighth world championship, has quit the FIA.
The Australian was sacked as race director in February following his mishandling of last season’s contentious season decider in Abu Dhabi, which provided Max Verstappen with the chance to beat Hamilton in a final-lap shootout.
