Formula One’s governing body the FIA has announced another senior figure has left the organisation with the departure of the technical director Tim Goss. He is the second key player to leave the FIA within a month after the resignation of the sporting director Steve Nielsen in December.
The loss of both men is a blow to the sport’s governance. Goss was central to the process of the formulation of new regulations set to be introduced in 2026, while Nielsen was brought in only a year ago to overhaul the sport’s race control operations that had been found so wanting at the controversial Abu Dhabi GP in 2021. He was reportedly unsatisfied and frustrated with the FIA’s unwillingness to make the changes he believed were required.
