Michael Masi has landed a new job in motorsport less than two months after walking away from the FIA.
The Australian was Formula 1's race director up to the end of last season, when he was at the centre of a title-deciding storm. His failure to correctly apply safety car rules in a pressurised situation at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix saw Max Verstappen become world champion while Lewis Hamilton missed out, many felt unfairly.
It seemed for a while as though Masi might hold on to his role, but as the furore refused to die down over the off-season the FIA was left with no choice but to act. He was replaced, and a new role created within the organisation so he could continue.
