Masi should not be F1 scapegoat says Marko

Michael Masi looks set to keep a prominent role at the top of Formula 1 – but clear changes are incoming for 2022. Since the highly controversial 2021 title finale in Abu Dhabi, some people have been calling for race director Michael Masi to be ousted for a series of questionable decisions. Red Bull’s Dr Helmut Marko said the current FIA investigation into Abu Dhabi and other 2021 controversies is not specifically about targeting Masi. “The primary purpose of the investigation is to clarify that Masi was simply overwhelmed in that situation, and that the team bosses cannot continue to interfere with race management over the radio,” he told Kleine Zeitung. “Everything should be clearer,” Marko, whose protege Max Verstappen was the beneficiary of the most controversial Masi decision in Abu Dhabi, added. “I think they will try to relieve the race management a little more.”. Therefore, Marko says Masi cannot be made to be the scapegoat.
