Formula One’s governing body released a statement over the course of the weekend, confirming that no decision has been taken regarding about the events of last year’s season finale at Abu Dhabi.

Despite the ongoing investigations, Formula One’ race director Michael Masi’s future has been hot topic. The FIA’s new head of Formula 1 hinted Peter Bayer that there could be change, claiming that “there is a possibility there could be a new race director.”
