The FIA is conducting a full investigation into what h💟appened at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, particularly the role raꦚce director Michael Masi played with the late Safety Car period.

Masi's future remains unclear with the FIA's head of single-seaters Peter Bayer suggesting th♊at there could be a new race director in place for🎃 the 2022 season.

The FIA was quick to respond, stating no decision had yet been made a꧋s a result of their analysis.

New president Mohammed Ben S▨ulayem is at t꧙he centre of the inquiry with the findings set to be presented to the F1 Commission later this month.

They will then be approved by the World Motor S🧔port Counci🐠l on March 18 in Bahrain.

Speaking after the launc♚h of Haas’ 2022 livery, Steiner said that the FIA is working "diligently" to improve things.

"I would say I didn’t give a lot of recommendations to president Mohammed [Ben Sulayem]," Steiner said. "We maybe talked about it but they are private talks and I don’t want to go there. I know that they are diligently working on it to make it, I wou✃ldn’t say better because it’s the wrong word, but to make it mainly better for the race director.

"Rac꧑e director is a very difficult job, I am not here to protect Michael or anything, but it is very difficult, and I think the sport has changed so much and some of the things have stayed behind. But I am sure they will come up with some ideas and wh𓄧en we are presented with them we will see what they are doing.

"But I didn’t give them any recommendation of what to do as a specific one, you know? We talked about the issues a little bit, and we all know them, so I think the FIA is working diligently and we are moving to a bett෴er future."

When asked if he feels Masi needs more support, Steiner said: "I’ve got enough on my plate at ꧙my company to be honest a🌌nd I wouldn’t like to go into the FIA to tell them what they should be doing because I know they are doing things but not the details in the things, contracts and stuff like this. 

"I’m not trying to avoid the question, I honestly do not know their structure in there completely. We all know Michael Masi i𒀰s the race director but I don’t know what is underlying and how to make it better. As I said, I am pretty busy with what I am doing at Haas F1, so I am not getting involved. 🍸;

"I have got full confidence in the FIཧA that they will fix it because everybody speaks about it. You guys [the media] ask questions but this wo꧅uld be questions more to the FIA than to me."
