The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:FIA announced on Wednesday it has hired F1 veteran Nielsen from FOM to take the role of sporting director, working directly📖 undern🎃eath Nikolas Tombazis, who has been given a new position that puts him in overall charge of the FIA’s F1 operations. 

Nielsen will oversee race-control operations and be tasked with 🍃fixing the FIA’s race-management problems that have plagued F1 in recent years.&nbꦡsp;

The reshuffle follows a review of the FIA’s internal procedures instigated by president Mo𓆉hammed Beꦬn Sulayem. 

58-year-old Nielsen joined F1 in 2017 following a lon🌄ౠg career working as a sporting director for several teams, including at the rebranded Alpine for more than a decade. 

It is hoped Nielsen’s ex♚perience will help improve the issues that have overshadowed F1 since Charlie Whiting’s death on🙈 the eve of the 2019 season. 

Whiting’s replacement, Michael Masi, was removed as race director following his mishandling of a late 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Safety Car period at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. 

Masi’s failure to apply the rules correctly altered the outcome of the world championship, controversially denying168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton a record-breaking eighth drivers’ title and enabling 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen to claim his maiden crown. 

Masi was replaced by Eduardo Freitas and Niels Wittich, who alternated the role for 20𒐪22, but proꦉblems persisted. 

Notable errors included a botched start procedure at Monaco, a controversial finish at Monza, a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:crane being sent onto the track amid heavy rain and poor visibility in Japan and 168澳洲幸🌳运5官方开奖结果历史:confusion over the points system which overshadowed Verstappen’s coronation, while drivers were left frustrated at a series of inconsistent stewards’ de💜cisions. 

But there is cause for opti⛄mism among the teams that Niel🐼sen’s appointment, as well as the revised structure, will bring much-needed improvements. 

McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown told BBC Sport: “St🐻eve is immensely respected, very well known and has a relationship with eve💧ryone in the pit lane.

"In🍃 roles like that, do they have the technical skillset? Yes. Do they have the credibility and relationships? Yes. 

“So he t🦋icks the boxes where I don't think a single team will be questioning the decision and the rationale.”

Mean🧸while, Haas team principal Guenther Steiner said: "It's fantastic that F1 made him available because he has been🌱 in F1 so long, so he knows a lot of history of what happened in different situations.

"That is the biggest thing that some of the people who came inꦗ missed - the history of th𒅌e last 20 years. It is very difficult to teach.

"The guys who are doing it are not bad people, but they just don't have the experience. If you try to learn 30 years of history of rule-making, that takes a few years and we expect these guys to go in the seat 🤡and make the right decisions.

"They don't know what they don't know, while Steve knows a lot of stuff, what happ𒀰ened when. It's better to have this not to create controv🌳ersies."
