If this goes through, then Masi will be replacing Neil Crompton, who left his position as the chairman at the end of June this year. As per a report by Motorsport, Crompton's exit appears to be in line with plans to bring Masi to the Supercars Commission in Australia. This will be Masi's next assignment after a much-maligned stint as race director that ended with the Abu Dhabi GP last season. The report also stated that Masi's appointment was subject to approval, writing: “According to multiple sources, Supercars is in the process of having Masi’s appointment approved by the team owners at Sandown this weekend.” Motorsport Radio@motorsportradioF1: FIA Confirms Michael Masi has been ousted in shocking new video motorsport.radio/fia-president-…11F1: FIA Confirms Michael Masi has been ousted in shocking new video motorsport.radio/fia-president-… Michael Masi came into the limelight last season when his role as the race director was brought into scrutiny. Apart from the safety car fiasco in the season finale, Masi also made numerous other questionable decisions. His departure has led to changes in how the FIA approaches a race weekend as there are now two race directors in place. The Australian initially made a name for himself as an administrator in Supercars, where he held the deputy race director role with Motorsport Australia. In 2018, he moved to the FIA as F1 race director Charlie Whiting's deputy. Following Whiting's sudden demise, Masi was thrust into the role of race director at the 2019 F1 Australian GP. He held the position for two years before being removed following the 2021 F1 Abu Dhabi GP controversy.
