The presentations of the 2022 cars allowed the drivers questioned on the issue to express their opinion in the face of what happened in the final race in Abu Dhabi. Sebastian Vettel, Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris were all in solidarity with the Clerk of the Course Michael Masiwho has simply tried to act as best he can in a situation that is an understatement to define uncomfortable.
Today’s meeting of the F1 Commission – which lasted about four hours – did not lead to great news regarding the FIA investigations into what happened in the last laps of the race held in Yas Marina. The final report is expected at the weekend, Helmut Marko stated that from his point of view Michael Masi cannot turn into a sort of scapegoat ‘paying’ for everything that happened with the loss of the role of Clerk of the Course. As reported by sky sports uk, Masi is unlikely to be confirmeda scenario that would thus satisfy Mercedes’ desire to see not only the procedures changed, but also who will hold the role of Clerk of the Course.
The FIA is ready to ‘move’ Michael Masi only on the sphere dedicated to safety, a position that among other things he already held in the many responsibilities he was invested with after the death of Charlie Whiting. The Clerk of the Course, who will be more ‘armored’ in 2022 than the radio attacks to which Masi was subjected, is a position for which there are currently two candidates: in addition to Eduardo Freitas (Clerk of the Course of the WEC) they are also climbing the quotations of the Clerk of the Course of the DTM Niels Wittich. By the weekend we will know more, given that today’s postponement on investigations relating to what happened in Abu Dhabi should then lead to important and – hopefully – definitive updates in the coming days.
