The Reason Behind the Dismissal of the Formula 1 Race Director Has Been Revealed

An investigation has revealed serious procedural errors

The FIA has announced that Michael Masi, the former Formula 1 race director, has been dismissed following an investigation into the controversial conclusion of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The investigation, conducted by the FIA's independent disciplinary panel, found that Masi made several procedural errors during the race, including failing to follow the correct safety car procedures and failing to ensure that all drivers were un-lapped before the restart. The panel also noted that Masi's decision to allow only some of the lapped cars to un-lap themselves “gave an advantage to Car 33 (Max Verstappen) over Car 44 (Lewis Hamilton).”
