FIA insist 'no decision yet taken' into events of controversial Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

Inquiry remains ongoing

The FIA is adamant no decisions have yet been made into the controversial Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as its inquiry remains ongoing.

Motorsport's governing body has been forced to issue a statement due to speculation that Michael Masi has already been removed from his position as race director.

This follows the events of last season, with Masi coming under fire for his decisions over the closing laps of the final race in Abu Dhabi that were pivotal in Red Bull driver Max Verstappen becoming champion ahead of Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton.

In an interview this week, Peter Bayer, the FIA secretary-general for motorsport and who is heading up the inquiry, has stated in an interview that Masi could be replaced.

The FIA maintains nothing has been determined as it has yet to speak to all the F1 drivers.

The FIA statement read: "At this stage, no decision has been taken on the outcome of the detailed analysis currently underway into the events of the last Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

"As previously announced, the findings of this detailed analysis will be presented at the F1 Commission meeting in London on 14th February after an open discussion with all F1 drivers and then finally have to be approved at the World Motor Sport Council meeting on 18th March in Bahrain, under the authority of FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem."
