Ha servito come steward per la Formula 1, durante il Gran Premio di Cina dello scorso anno ed è stato il presidente degli steward dell’Eprix Formula E di Hong Kong, la scorsa settimana.
It has not yet been made known whether Masi will also cover the role of race director for the subsequent grand prix.
