F1 legend Lewis Hamilton has been left stunned after FIA president Mohammed ben Sulayem suggested Michael Masi may return to the sport. This comes just two months after the sport’s boss sacked the Australian for his role in the controversial Abu Dhabi Grand Prix last December.
But in his first interview since being appointed president five months ago, the UAE native teased a potential comeback for Masi. “Michael is there and we might use him. We are open to everything,” the 60-year-old said.
According to Sportsmail, Hamilton and his closest advisors are very surprised and disappointed with Sulayem’s comments, while Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff was furious. The publication also revealed that Ben Sulayem said he ‘does not want a fight’ but ‘is simply aiming to restore the FIA to its rightful position, nothing more or less.’
