This is the third person to leave FIA in about a week.
Paolo Basarri has left his position as the compliance officer of Formula 1's governing body the FIA.
Multiple sources, both at and close to the FIA, said the Italian had been fired as a consequence of FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem losing confidence in him.
Basarri is said to have pushed back against or tried to navigate around a number of requests of Ben Sulayem, who took exception to that approach.
The FIA has declined to comment, while Basarri told BBC Sport: "I cannot comment on this."
Basarri is the official who compiled a report into allegations that Ben Sulayem interfered in the operations of two races during the 2023 season.
