On the one hand the Mercedeson the other Michael Masi. In between, the FIA, in a position that also involves embarrassment. Because the Formula 1 race director went into trouble several times over the course of the season and in Abu Dhabi he placed the classic icing on the cake with a decision that made Mercedes angry and that, if you wanted to read it, forced the regulation.
During the season, Red Bull also complained about the Australian’s actions, but there is no doubt that the hottest controversies came with Yas Marina. Team principal Toto Wolff believes he has suffered an injustice and does not want Masi to cover the role of referee again in 2022. When there are less than three weeks before the debut of the new cars in the shakedown del Montmeló, the Federation has not yet communicated whether Masi will remain in his place, even if his absence from the organization chart suggests that we are moving towards a solution that satisfies Mercedes, which could also be a coaching to a more experienced figure. Günther’s last words also confirm this Steiner, Haas team principal, the first car to unveil its colors for the upcoming season.
“I have full confidence in the Federation. I have not given many recommendations to the president, we have discussed the Abu Dhabi events in private and I do not want to go back. I know the FIA is working diligently on the Masi issue and on what happened in Abu Dhabi, to understand how to improve“, These are the words of the South Tyrolean collected by GPFans. “It’s a very difficult job, but I’m not here to protect Michael. I’m sure the Federation will come up with some ideas. When they are presented then we will see what they will do, but I have not given them any specific recommendations on what to do. I wouldn’t like to go to the FIA to tell them what they should do. I know they are working for settle the matter, but I don’t know the details“.
