Was Michael Masi unfairly treated over how Max Verstappen beat Lewis Hamilton to win the 2021 F1 title?

Yes. He made mistakes, but they should have looked at the entire situation with teams being able to contact him at that time. He was strong on track safety and I liked that about him.

I don’t see how. He changed the rules in a way that very obviously gave an advantage to one driver over another. It was a change that had never been seen in any other race that season yet he chose to do it for this one. He ignored the fact that it could fundamentally change the outcome of the race, OR he did it because it would? We may never know.

No it was an absolute disgrace what happened to lewis hamilton if it had been done properly and max won then nobody could have complained as max raced well all season but you the procedure at that time was a disgrace

No. I'm no gynecologist, but I know a dumb c**t when I see one. Rescind the bogus shampionship they gifed to Max and restore it to its rightful owner, Sir Lewis Hamilton nd perhaps F1 can regain some form of legitimacy.

Of course, the personal attacks by F1 fans at the time were not warranted at all, but he showed that he couldn't stay calm under pressure which is a key trait needed for race directors. I'm so interested in what Whiting would have done in that same situation.
