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 und🌳erneath 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 opജerations and be tasked with fixing the FIA’s race-management problems that have plagued F1 in recent years. 

T𓄧꧋he reshuffle follows a review of the FIA’s internal procedures instigated by president Mohammed Ben Sulayem. 

58-year-old Nielsen joined F1 in 2017 following a long career working as a sporting director 🔥for seve🍃ral teams, including at the rebranded Alpine for more than a decade. 

It is hoped Nielsen’s experience will help🅠 improve the issues that have ov🤪ershadowed 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 2022, but problems 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 corona🐈tion, while drivers were left frustrated at a series🐻 of inconsistent stewards’ decisions. 

But there is cause for optimism among the teams that Ni🅘elsen’s appointme✱nt, as well as the revised structure, will bring much-needed improvements. 

McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown told BBC Sport: “Steve is immensely respected, very well ꦬknown and has a relationship with everyone in the pit lane.

"In roles like that, do they have the technical skillset? Yes. Do they have the cred🍒ibility and relationships? Yes. 

“So he ticks the boxes where I don't think a single team will be questioning the decisio꧋n an🌸d the rationale.”

Meanwhile, Haas team principal Guenther Steiner said: "It's fantastic that F1 made him available becauseﷺ 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 som🎃e of the people who came in missed - the history of the last 20 years. It is very diffic﷽ult 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, whileဣ Steve knows a lot of stuff, what happened when. It's better to have this not to create controversies."
