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 takᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚe the role of sporting director, working directly underneath Nikolas Tombazi♉s, 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 𒈔procedures instig🌼ated by president Mohammed Ben Sulayem. 

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

It is hoped Nielsen’s experien꧑ce 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 a𒁏lternated 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 coronation, while drivers were left frustrated at a ser✱ies of inconsistent stewards’ decisions. 

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

McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown told BBC Sport: “Steve is im🃏mensely respected, very well known and has a relationship with evꦅeryone in the pit lane.

"In role👍s like that, do they have the technical skillset? Yes. Do they have the credibility and relationships? Yes. 

“So he ticks the boxes where I don't think a single tea✱m will be🅷 questioning the decision and the rationale.”

Meanwh🐻ile, Haas team principal Guenther Steiner said: "It's fantastic that F1 made him available 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 tꦜhe 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 we expect these ♔guys to go in the seat and make the right decisions.

"They don't know what they don't know, while Steve knows a lot of stuff, w💝hat happened when. I൩t's better to have this not to create controversies."
