The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) has announced that former Red Bull team engineer Tim Mallon has been appointed sporting director, while Tim Goss has stepped down as technical director.
In recent months, several changes have occurred in the management of the FIA formula division. In December it became known that Steve Nielsen would leave his role as sporting director, while today it became clear that Tim Goss would leave his role as technical director of the FIA. He has been working in this position since 2021, but before that he was one of McLaren’s technical managers for 28 years.
Meanwhile, Tim Mallon was today confirmed as the new FIA Sporting Director. He will oversee the sporting side of the championship, including the work of race director Niels Wittich, as well as the remote operations center in Geneva, reporting directly to FIA formula director Nicolas Tombazis.
Previously, Maljons worked for 12 years in the “Red Bull” team, joining in the days of “Jaguar”. As an engineer, he has held various positions in his field. When Sebastian Vettel won four F1 titles between 2010 and 2013, Mallon was the team’s performance engineer. He later moved to the Sauber unit, but then worked for BMW Motorsport, first in the DTM and then in the Formula E championship. In 2019, Maljon began working for the FIA.
The FIA announces the appointment of Tim Malyon as Sporting Director. In his role, Malyon will oversee all sporting matters, including race management and the remote operations center in Geneva, and will report to Nikolas Tombazis, FIA single-seater director.
