Steve Nielsen's official job title is Head of Sporting Matters at The Formula One Group.
The Brit's responsibilities shall include collecting feedback on the day-to-day running of F1 teams, but Nielsen will also be involved in defining future regulations, acting as an official representative of F1 alongside the teams and the FIA.
