The F1 career of former race director Michael Masi may not yet be over if FIA President Mohammed ben Sulayem's comments are anything to go by.
Masi, 44, took over the role in 2019 following the sudden death of Charlie Whiting. He was still in post for the dramatic 2021 title decider in Abu Dhabi, when he suddenly became one of the most divisive figures in the sport.
Masi came in for a siege of criticism for altering his initial safety car instructions to drivers during the final laps at the Yas Marina. The Australian, under pressure from Red Bull boss Christian Horner, fast-tracked matters in order to ensure one final lap of racing.
