LEWIS HAMILTON was reportedly left “astonished” after it emerged controversial former race director Michael Masi could return to Formula One. He had a personal overload (of work) – safety delegate as well as race director. It is not as if we said it is the end of Masi with the FIA.”. The decision (to sack him as race director) was made by the World Council. And though we have brought in two new race directors, I wouldn’t say we have got it all right yet. Despite the controversial comments about Masi potentially returning, it is believed that Ben Sulayem “does not want a fight” and is simply hoping to “restore the FIA to its rightful position”.
