The hive of controversy that arose at the end of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2021 towards the actions of the Clerk of the Course Michael Masi, led to the Australian being removed from office three months later. The Brazilian Eduardo Freitas and the German Niels Wittich, supervised by ‘Herbie’ Blash, are operating in his place, already from the Barcelona tests. What happened, however, created a deep wound in Philippe Bianchi, father of Jules, who wanted to make his voice heard on social networks, once again condemning in no uncertain terms the behavior adopted by public opinion, by Formula 1 and by the Federation at the time of the disappearance of his son.
As is well known, Jules Bianchi lost his life after nine months in a coma following the accident of 5 October 2014, when his Manor off the track on wet asphalt crashed into a crane on the escape route of Curva 7 Clearly the vehicle – present to remove Adrian Sutil’s Sauber – should not have been at that point without the neutralization of the race, a much safer move than the simple yellow flag shown in the previous corner. “When I see the huge controversy that led to the ouster of Michael Masi – who certainly deprived Lewis Hamilton of the eighth title – I can’t help but be shocked at the leniency shown towards Charlie Whiting at the time from all those people who were part of the farce that led to the death of my son Jules“, Highlighted Philippe Bianchi on Instagramconcluding: “Many questions should be asked… Everyone deals with his own conscience, but it’s impossible not to feel like throwing up“.
