The FIA has axed its controversial system of rotating Formula 1 race directors after complaints of inconsistency this season.
Michael Masi held the role up until the end of last season, when his poor decisions impacted the outcome of the 2021 title race. He was later relieved of his duties by the FIA after their investigation into what happened concluded that "human error" had been a factor.
With no natural successor already in the F1 world, the governing body turned to Eduardo Freitas and Niels Wittich to share the role. But in 2022, that has led to some inconsistency and questionable decision-making at times, most recently at the Japanese Grand Prix, where Freitas was in charge.
