Timeline
In 2022, he replaced former race director Michael Masi, as Formula One race director alongside Niels Wittich.
On 17 February 2022, the FIA announced Masi was removed from his role as race director following an FIA analysis into the events of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Freitas and Niels Wittich replaced him, splitting the role as race directors, with Herbie Blash acting as their "Permanent Senior Advisor".
At the 2022 Japanese Grand Prix, a race directed by Freitas, there was a great controversy in which a recovery vehicle went out on the track to pick up Carlos Sainz's car - who had had an accident - in wet conditions and without all the drivers regrouped. Despite the fact that the FOM did not show these images live, they were leaked on social networks, and several drivers spoke out against the action of the race director. Following the event, the FIA announced an investigation into what happened at the Grand Prix. Finally, on the weekend of the United States Grand Prix, the FIA admitted the mistakes made in Japan and announced that Eduardo Freitas would not be the race director again in 2022, leaving the position solely to Niels Wittich. Freitas had served as race director at 8 Grands Prix until then.
Following the controversial ending of the 2021 Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, a petition was started by Formula One fans to appoint Freitas as new race director.
In Formula One Freitas worked alongside both former Formula One race directors Michael Masi and his predecessor Charlie Whiting in FIA conferences and race director meetings at the governing body. During the 2020 Portuguese Grand Prix, he shadowed Michael Masi as part of the race direction team for his home race in Portimao, at the Algarve International Circuit in Portimao.
After that, the FIA promoted Freitas to the FIA GT1 global championship, and in 2012, he was named race director for the WEC – World Endurance Championship.
Freitas served as the race director for FIA Gran Turismo, the European Touring Car Championship, the European Le Mans Series, the Asian Le Mans Series and the World Endurance Championship from 2002 to 2022.
During his work as track secretary at the Estoril circuit in 2002, he was asked to lead the FIA GT and ETCC Championship for a season, a role he retained until the end of 2009.
Similar to former Formula One race director Charlie Whiting, Freitas then began his motorsport career, when a friend invited him to work as a karting mechanic during the World Karting Championship in Estoril, 1979.
Eduardo Freitas (born October 27, 1961) is a Portuguese motorsports official and race director.
