According to the BBC, Nick Nielsen has left his position as the Sporting Director of Formula 1’s governing body, the FIA, due to a lack of willingness from the FIA to make necessary changes. Nielsen joined the FIA in January 2023 to improve race management and oversee the restructuring of its race control and remote operations center. He had been a respected figure in the F1 paddock for three decades, previously holding roles at Lotus, Tyrell, Honda, Arrows, Benetton/Renault/Lotus, Caterham, Toro Rosso, and Williams. Nielsen’s departure was communicated internally on December 21, but no official comments have been made by him or the FIA yet. He joins Deborah Mayer, head of the FIA Commission for Women, who also recently resigned.
