The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:FIA announced on Wednesday it&nbsღp;has hired F1 veteran Nielsen from FOM to take the role of sporting director, working directly underneath 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. 

The reshuffle follows a review of the FIA’s internal procedures instigated by president Mohamm🍒ed Ben Sulayem. 

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

It is hoped Nielsen’s experience will he🦋lp improve the issues that have overshadowed F1 since Charl💝ie 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5最新开奖结果:Safety Car period at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. 

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

Masi was replaced by Eduardo Freiಞt𝄹as 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5最新开奖结果:crane being sent onto the track amid heavy rain and poor visibility in Japan and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:confusion over the points system which overshadowed Verstappen💦’s coronation, while drivers were left frustrated at a series of inconsistent stewards’ decisions. 🍸;

But there is cause for optimism among the teams th𒁃at Nielsen’s appointment, as well as the revised structure, will bring much-needed improvements. 

McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown told BBC Sport: “Steve is i👍mmensely respected, very well known and has a relationsh꧋ip with everyone in the pit lane.

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

“So he ticks the boxes where I don't think a singl🦩e team will be questioning the decision and the rationale.”

Meanwhile, Haas team p🏅rincipal Guenther Steiner said: "It's fantastic that F1 made him availab🌼le 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 in missed - the history of the 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 ౠwe expect these guys to go in the seat and makeಌ the right decisions.

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