Absolute mess. Removed comment. More replies 39 down. Michael Masi should never have been in this job in the first place and it is now blindingly clear he is not fit for the job.
The sport will never be able to build its integrity back until this race "producer" is replaced with a competent race director. DemocracyRules replied: But if they get rid of him now would that not smack of 'he made the wrong call' at a time where it would do them no favours to make such a suggestive comment.
Unfortunately they are almost forced to stick by him unless they make such a public statement and offer some sort of appeasement for the error. Far too complicated now. The FIA have a huge decision to make. Try and legitimise the formal result on Sunday - despite all impartial observers seeing it as unfair and fixed Either way, an historic season has ended with the legitimacy of the sport being called into question and they have to address that directly.

Comment posted by Powers, at 13 Dec Powers. Its a shame for so many new F1 fans to have witnessed such a scandal such as this : the title fight brought F1 onto the front page of the media, but it has ended with what is effectivley a rigged race result. Such a shame for the greatest title show down in decades to have ended this way. SamB replied: If Masi had followed standard protocol. By the time the final lap came around, the lapped cars would have been well out of the way.
And Verstappen would have won. By not following the standard protocol. He has created confusion, which Mercedes have jumped on to try and somehow argue that Hamilton was unfairly disadvantaged.

This farce of a championship decider has me wondering what to think. All we wanted was a fair race and this unfortunately was not that. Congrats to Max but I feel for Lewis. I doubt either wanted it to end this way. Forza Italia replied: Good to read someone saying well done Max. Not sure how others wanted the season to end That would have been worse. More replies 58 down. One of the better articles from BBC Sport.
Well done. Whoever wants which driver to win, they must win fairly and with consistent rule application. Either unlap all cars, allow none or red flag the race. Reply posted by Glawen, at 13 Dec Glawen. Glawen replied: I agree, but CS was on old tires so i doubt it would make any difference. More replies 10 down. Masi has to go.
Rebuild from there. He surely cannot continue in his post. He is not a competent person, and is bad for the public image of the sport. Reply posted by Dont mind me, at 13 Dec Dont mind me. Dont mind me replied: I thought he made the right call.
Very gutsy. More replies 34 down. Comment posted by keiron, at 13 Dec keiron I honestly believe that there should be no contact or influence between teams and officials during a race. Penalties should be flagged and dealt with without direct communication.
And the FIA need to stick to the rules and not change them to suit, such as what happened in Abu Dhabi. Yes Max deserved the championship I admit, they both did, but it just seemed so SamB replied: Agree with your first sentence. Toto Wolff risking human lives, by trying to pressure Masi into not putting out a safety car. Was absolutely disgraceful! More replies 22 down. I've, like many read hundreds of comments and articles and it seems all people want, across the board is consistency with the decision making..
HE is the Professor for a reason. More replies 7 down. Comment posted by Jockney, at 13 Dec Jockney. An opinionated article without any of he sources being named I'm afraid F1 has lost the plot, it's always been a money making machine but now, if the results aren't decided by drivers on the track really what's the point?
