The morning after one of the most dramatic races in Formula One history and race director Michael Masi has found himself at the centre of a plot that will continue to grip motorsport for days to come. But the controversy of the call by Masi regarding the unlapping has caused ire across the Formula One community and fans are calling for him to lose his job as race director. ‘Regardless of who gets awarded the F1 Championship this incompetent fool as FIA race director Michael Masi needs to be sacked on the spot,’ wrote one furious fan on Twitter. Mercedes chief Toto Wolff was heard having an exchange with Masi in the immediate aftermath of the race, saying: ‘We need to go back to the lap before.’.
