F1 race director Michael Masi says he doesn’t mind that Lewis Hamilton confronted the stewards at Monza to personally protest the penalty that cost him victory on Sunday. Masi defended the stewards’ decision, arguing not only that the drivers are shown light boards in several locations, but that the teams are given notice on both their official information and separate timing screens. “We also talk about all this at the drivers’ briefing,” Masi said. He said he isn’t sure what arguments Hamilton made when he confronted the stewards. Masi also said he has no problem with drivers approaching the stewards to argue about penalties during a race.
