F1 chief Mohammed ben Sulayam has opened the door for disgraced race director Michael Masi to return to the sport.<\/p>\n

His comments could upset Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes, who were left furious by Masi's "human error" at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The Australian's mistake during the closing stages of the season-ending race cost Hamilton an historic seventh world title.<\/p>\n

Instead, Max Verstappen was able to capitalise on a safety car period to overtake his rival and clinch his maiden championship.<\/p>\n

"Okay, I will do the apology, but I will bring Michael Masi again. Do you think that is right?<\/p>\n

"The poor guy is a person who has been attacked and abused. Michael Masi went through hell. Hell! And if I see there is an opportunity that the FIA needs, and Michael Masi is the right person, I will bring him."<\/p>\n

The incident in 2021 occurred a week before Ben Sulayam became FIA president, with Masi later replaced as race director and left the FIA last year.<\/p>\n

His decision to allow the cars between Hamilton and Verstappen to unlap themselves with just two laps remaining proved costly for the Brit.<\/p>\n

Verstappen was able to overtake Hamilton on the final lap to win the race and the Drivers' Championship.<\/p>\n

As a result, Hamilton missed out on a record-breaking eighth world title.<\/p>\n

He was also denied a fifth consecutive championship, which would have seen him equal Michael Schumacher's record.<\/p>\n
