Masi was a “liability” for F1 and “disrespectful” towards drivers – Wolff

quote:

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has revealed he urged former FIA Formula 1 race director Michael Masi to take criticism of his approach on board ahead of last year’s controversial title-decider in Abu Dhabi.

Masi was replaced as race director due to his mishandling of the finale. An FIA inquiry found he failed to adhere to its regulations in arranging a final-lap restart of the race, following which Max Verstappen overtook Lewis Hamilton to win the world championship.

Wolff revealed he spoke to Masi before the event about the feedback he’d been given over several controversial decisions earlier in the year.

“I had lunch with him on the Wednesday before the race,” Wolff told the Press Association, “and I said to him that ‘I really want to tell you, without patronising you, that you need to take criticism on board and develop from there. Lewis does it every day, but you are a guy who always seems to know better’.

“It wasn’t about influencing him but really giving my honest feedback that he shouldn’t block outside opinion as simply being wrong.”

Masi, who has not spoken publicly since the controversial conclusion to last season almost four months ago, had been criticised for his handling of several flashpoints in the rivalry between Hamilton and Verstappen at preceding races in Saudi Arabia and Brazil. Wolff said drivers were not impressed by his reaction to their feedback.

“You hear from the drivers and how the drivers’ briefings were conducted [by Masi] and some of the guys said it was almost disrespectful how he treated some of them.

“There is a promoter of one of the races in the Middle East who said he was so relieved he had gone because he got so much abuse from him.”

The FIA’s inquiry found two errors were made in Masi’s management of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Safety Car was brought in a lap too early and only some of the lapped cars – those which lay between Hamilton and Verstappen – were allowed to rejoin the lead lap.

However, Wolff said Masi hasn’t accepted he was at fault. “He was just immune to any feedback and even today he has not properly reflected that he did something wrong.

“He was a liability for the sport because everybody kept talking about Abu Dhabi and the race director, and the race director should not be somebody that people talk about, but someone who does the job and makes sure the race is run according to the regulations.”

Wolff said Niels Wittich, one of Masi’s two replacements in the role, “hasn’t put a single foot wrong” since taking over. However he questioned the need for his clampdown on drivers wearing jewellery while on-track.

Hamilton said yesterday he cannot comply with the restriction because some of his piercings are fixed in place.

“Is that a battle he needs to have at this stage?” said Wolff. “However, if it turns out to be the biggest unfortunate misstep of a race director, I would take it a thousand times over.”

Toto still mad lol

I think Kmag and Alonso would've been able to make the hard last the whole race based on how they were doing before they boxed. It would be pretty funny to see a race where there's no safety cars and the hard can run quick for that long, because the best strategy would be to use the hard tire from the beginning and then take a token stop on the last lap to satisfy the rules requirement when the intervals between all the cars are at their highest.

MotoGP is fine for boomers and young people who have a death wish.

However, this thread is for celebrating Max's DNF. Let's go back through time celebrate some of his greatest DNF hits from the last few years, PYF:

1) 10 seconds behind Charles and his engine catches on fire trying desperately to keep up
2) 5 seconds behind Charles and his engine stops working while trying desperately to keep up
3) Crashes while trying to murder Lewis
4) Lewis attacks Max self defense from all the attempted murder
5) Pirelli decides they want nothing to do with max and explode his tire. (this one is my favorite)

I though Masi might not have really known what he was doing and made some bad decisions but this just proves he was great and the sport is worse off without him.

These politically correct sports hypocrites are WOKE morons with higher moral superiority complex.
So what if he salutes with his finger on his nose or up his rear end? It's his problem and we don't have to like it, nor do we have the right to censor him. What happened to freedom of speech in a democracy? Did he hurt anyone in the audience besides the feelings of a few snowflakes?
WHY PLAY THE NATIONAL ANTHEM at all, isn't that an act of nationalistic superiority and offensive to the others?
Why allowed Hamilton to do a BLM salute, is it because he is black?
Why kneel for racial discrimination, is it my obligation to ask for forgiveness for something that I had no part of?
Sports have become the stage for political messages of moral superiority for WOKE morons.
