“I have worked on the competitors’ side for many years, but now the opportunity to help shape the future of the sport with the governing body is a prospect I relish,” Monchaux said in a statement on Tuesday.
The FIA’s previous technical director, Tim Goss, left less than a year after being appointed and is due to start at Red Bull’s Visa Cash App RB team in October as chief technical officer.
