It is reported that the management structure of the F1 match may be reformed

According to the BBC, the International Automobile Federation (FIA) plans to reform the race management structure to avoid a recurrence of the Abu Dhabi incident.

Before the final lap of the 2021 season finale was restarted, Massy only let the duvet between P2 Verstappen and leader Hamilton pass through the safety car, and then Verstappen used the tire advantage to overtake Hamilton at Turn 5, winning the race and thus becoming the championship of the season.

Mercedes' post-match appeals were all unsuccessful, and Hamilton, along with Mercedes manager Toto Wolff, was absent from the FIA awards gala.

At present, an investigation into the events in Abu Dhabi is ongoing and the final report will be released on March 18, the practice day of the Bahrain opener.

Wolff has said he expects "action, not rhetoric" after the Abu Dhabi incident, and it appears that the action is indeed underway.

"The FIA's plan is to introduce a range of safeguards that would give event directors more freedom to make decisions in a quieter environment," the BBC source said.

Their report added: "Insiders say a support structure is being planned for the race director, which could include putting barriers between the role and the team to avoid Massi being directly lobbied by the team leader. The responsibilities of the tournament officers are also planned to be revised, and they consider giving the tournament officers independent of the event director and punishing violations separately. ”

It is reported that Marci is likely to no longer be the race director this season. Some teams have proposed to the new FIA president, Mohammed bin Surayem, for the appointment of a new race director, while "senior insiders" have no way of seeing how Marcy will retain his role, the report said.

The report added: "Top sources say the most likely scenario is that a new event director will be appointed for the 2022 season. ”

But it must be noted that calls for Massy's withdrawal seem to be far from being unanimously adopted throughout the paddock.

Red Bull denied they had advocated losing Marcy to his role, Ferrari said they were unaware of such a request, while Williams argued that the FIA's personnel were not determined by the team.

As part of the investigation, Bin Surayem will reportedly meet with the team leader to discuss the Abu Dhabi incident and give them the opportunity to come up with reform proposals.
