21 "omg that evil race director let the race finish as a race, which was the official stance of the fia the entire season" 23 "ah, giving sainz a penalty on top of a dangerouns incident in las vegas was unfortunate but ok" People make a big deal out of abu dhabi 21, but we have a long history of inconsistent nonsense from race direction regardless which camp you are from. It also doesn't help the cause that Sky F1 has heavily biased commentary and "happens to be" also shoving drive to survive in people's faces, which is dramatized trash.

I am so tired of hearing about this. But the season is over and they've got to talk about something.

The 2021 final race, last lap was the most exciting lap of F1 ever!! Just proved how drastically things can change in a minute!! A first win for a racer or a record braking win for a another!! Imagine that cut-throat race finishing behind the safety car, bull sh*t! F1 would have lost fans in tons!Just that 1 minute has given passion to so many and a ton of content. Have seen so many new channels based on F1 all doing so good, just after that race!! Michal Masi has given the world an unending topic of discussion, hats off to him!

Masi's only mistake was not getting the lapped cars cleared soon enough, Had he done it a lap earlier (When Horner asked him about it) then the entire thing is Moot. In the end, he only had time to clear the relevant cars and that's what he did. Half a lap sooner and the exact some thing plays out and there's nothing to cry about. He made the right decision given the circumstances. Imagine a championship being decided under yellow.

No Masi's mistake was not applying the rules correctly. I you both had read and understood the 2021 regulations you would understand that Masi could not have got cars unlapped any sooner than he did. This is because there are rules surrounding the deployment and extraction of the safety car that are dependent of track condition triggering a series of protocols that dictate when things happen and must be followed in that order. Masi initially made the announcement that lapped cars would not overtake. That would have been a legitimate call within the rules that would have allowed the race to restart when it did. Max would have restarted in 2nd but with 5 lapped cars to pass to get to Hamilton. However Masi then decided to allow lapped cars to pass. (Whether that was from pressure from Horner and Red Bull or from Liberty Media we'll never know.) but not "Any" or "All" lapped cars to pass.Instead only allowing the cars between 1st and 2nd to unlap themselves. He then calls the safety car in on the same lap the lights go off and the safety car is in 2 corners later If you actually read the regs it is clear that in the context of the rule "Any" means "All" Masi's attempt at playing semantics was clearly his attempt to cover his ass under the circumstances. To demonstrate the difference think of a Jar off sweets If I say have you had "Any" I refer to an undisclosed amount between 1 and All of them in which case Any describes what ever has been taken. However If I Ask you Are there any left that refers to the entire contents of the jar although it's not a specific number the implied question refers to all sweets that are left in the jar. Therefore "Any" lapped cars refers to all cars that have been lapped not a selection of those cars that have been lapped. he also did not follow the safety car protocols concerning its return to the pits. In the rules it is clearly stated that. When the message Lapped cars may pass is sent to the SC and all teams "Any" means any that have been lapped or in simple terms "All lapped car" After the last car has unlapped there is a non determined period where the previously lapped cars are allowed to get far enough ahead so as not to interfere with the restart. ( which can mean catching up to the back of the queue behind the SC.) Once it is deemed the lapped cars are far enough ahead the message Safety car in message is sent to the SC and All teams. The SC then completes the lap it is on and returns to the pits on the next lap ( that's the rules) That didn't happen and that's why Mercedes were aggrieved. Their decision to not Pit Hamilton was based on the rules being followed as written in which case if all lapped cars were allowed to pass. The in lap of the safety car would be the final lap. The safety car would have pulled into the pits and the race would commence with no overtaking before the start finish line. Whereas if the lapped cars weren't allowed to overtake the safety car could be called in one lap earlier The race would restart with Hamilton bolting off with Verstappen Having to Pass 5 cars under Blue flags at the restart. by the time he cleared them in 1 or 2 corners Hamilton would have been too far ahead to have been caught even on his worn hard tyres. In Short Masi broke the rules and by doing so changed the outcome of the race result and therefore the result of the WDC. You can't blame Max, he simply did what he needed to do given an opportunity that shouldn't have existed if the rules were followed. But as an F1 fan (not a driver fanboy) I was left feeling cheated after watching a season of exiting racing between Max and Lewis the title was decided by someone who wasn't even driving. It's tantamount to a referee tossing a coin to decide which team to award a penalty to in the last minute of a world cup final. I makes a mockery of the competition and in 2021 mode a mockery of the entire season .

knowing the implications of the race results they should have red flagged the race after the first lap under yellow when they realised it would take more than 2-3 laps to clean up in the pit lane sort the cars out to the correct position allow fresh tires. then we would have 5-8 laps of intense racing between verstapin and hamilton. both would be on fresh softs and it would have been a more "fair" fight for the championship. yeah did that crash need a red flag via the rules no. but for the fan base the teams and the drivers i think that was the real best call to do. im no an lh fan or a mv fan. i actually like the underdogs like hass and i do really enjoy gasley's driving style on track its great to watch, and who can say they dont like riccardo. im sad with how the results ended up being souly due to the fact from my understanding how the rules where stated, the fia can pick and choose which cars can unlap themselfs its all or nothing. so with when masi decided to unlap the cars it should have still been under yellow which means lh would have gotten his 8th and final would championship. with the way the rb is now i dont think he will win again untill maybe the 26 reg change. but i also dont want to say max didnt earn it he drove like a real mosnter that season. it was great to watch. like i said no a fan of either just how i see the rules. but who am i just some rando on the internet. also side now Leclare needs to get out of ferrari, hes just cursed when it comes to the prancing horse. like it may be driver error but sometimes its not. like when he crashed on the formation lap the car litterally just died at probs the worst spot, not his fault. hes a good driver check quali pace. but the ferrari brand just doesnt like him.

if they where to renun that race now it would be a 5 second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage for Hamilton

Both Max and Lewis would have gotten far more penalties which would have changed the result completely. Cutting the line from the team bosses to the steward should have been made earlier. Impossible to say who would have won.

The FIA are just as much to blame as Masi for upholding his asinine decision. Not to mention the FIA still to this day doesn’t know how to enforce their own rules equally and fairly.

With Masi being the understudy to Charlie, it is a shame that those years of Charlie’s knowledge are lost. You are right in what you say regarding the pressure of more racing, less safety car for that year, and that is why Masi did what he did. The crux of what happened is that Merc where outsmarted by a better team when pitted Max at the right time. If Merc had have done the same Lewis would have won. Unfortunately Merc fans don’t want to admit the bad Merc grid box decision. Masi should come back and put into practice the “Charlie” way, and would do a better job than the current ones.

That race was a total balls-up, but you can't wind back history. I think Masi was in a difficult position, damned whatever he did. Should he come back? Move on.

Trash views. This is the definition of putting entertainment before sport. Of course I don’t want ANY race to end under red flag. However, interpreting the rules in a way we never have before, in order to attain this preferred ending was the shittiest, least honorable, and the most dishonest way to end up with the “preferred outcome” of NOT ending the race under a red flag. The FIA would have been less obvious if they hit Lewis with a late race 5 second time penalty for cutting the track in order to avoid contact with the divebombing Max.

Let’s not pretend like it was all on that decision. People that say this forget that Mercedes has been heavily favored throughout the season. The season would’ve been over in Verstappens favor if penalties were dealt adequately…

Mercedes and Hamilton did, but got help from the stewards and fia every which way. 7:20 Not a mistake by Masi; the rules stated ANY, not ALL. Words matter.

Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys said relating to the NFL, bad news is good for business. I don’t doubt for a moment that F1/FIA was behind the decision Masi made for the final lap. It was definitely good for F1 financially. Masi was the scapegoat potentially, and it’s why he might be reinstated. I started watching F1 in 2019. I was influenced after watching the movie Grand Prix from the 60’s and then watching Drive to Survive. I grew tired of Lewis and Merc dominating and though I wasn’t a Max or Red Bull fan, was rooting for them or any driver/team to beat Merc every race. The final race of 2021 was one of the most exciting races I’d seen despite the controversy. Ultimately, Lewis benefited previously from another bigger F1 controversy in my opinion when he was wrongly awarded the championship after another team staged an accident. He was probably robbed of one in 2021. It equals out. Not sure if Masi should be reinstated because we don’t know the facts behind the decision he made.

Michael Massi gave everyone a 1 lap shootout for the race win and the neck and neck championship. He would’ve been hailed as a hero if Lewis Hamilton had’ve won that race. His quick thinking would’ve been hailed as revolutionary.

Really? Crashtappen Forced LULU off the track that's why they deemed he didn't gain an advantage.

If they had pitted and Red Bull didn't ( which they wouldn't have done) potentially Merc would have handed the title there and then to verstappen Mercedes made the correct call 100% based on the rules and the expectation that they would be applied correctly the only fact in this matter is that Masi didn't follow the rules as written which created a situation that that shouldn't have existed that then allowed Verstappen to be able to attack Hamilton on fresh rubber against Hamilton's 20 odd lap old hard tyres that were dead. Verstappen simply did what he needed to do given that opportunity. As would any driver that's any good in that situation

All Masi had to do was let all lapped cars through 1 lap earlier. Outcome would have been the same. That's how F1 has always done it.

This was a Championship winning Race, and F1 has NEVER decided a Championship winning race on a safety car. Why would they start now? From what I remember, Hammy went wide in turn 5, and left the door wide open for Max to go through. That's how he actually lost.

That's it now IM NOT WATCHING F1 ANYMORE!!!!!

If they bring back Masi there will be a lot of negativity flying around and a large decline in the fan base , that was a bad ending to the year , there should be NO mud slinging towards max , Max did what any driver would do and try to win . L. H. Lost the championship by his own screw ups in two earlier races , but what Masi did was definitely wrong by eliminating the 4 lap cars in front of Max, Lewis had to drive around them so why shouldn’t Max . How ever you see it the advantage went to Max due to Maui’s decision .

Bring him back I like him he was good and he was a driver too back in the day. To be honest my opinion is he made the right call. He allowed the race to end in a race not a safety car or red flag. My opinion which won't work because of fuel capacity is that they develop some type of over time deal like nascar. Allow everyone to pit and keep the grid position then come out for a green white checkered laps. Maybe at this pitstop they can fuel if needed to complete the overtime last two laps.

HE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN FIRED !

Mistakes are unfortunate, but very human. It isn't a question of ethics or morality. If it was a track record of horrible decisions, that would be one thing. By all accounts Masi made one glaring error and he was ostracized for it. That seems a bit too severe a reaction.

"Masi, a 45 year old Australian." That statement added ZERO value. Did you really need to add that to make your video 5 seconds longer?

I miss you Michael Masi. Your consistent leadership in your inconsistency during the 2021 season makes F1 much more interesting. Hopefully you will be given another assignment as Race Director. I miss your inconsistency

Bringing Massi back will help rectify one of the worst F1decisions in history. Overall Masi gave F1 possibly the most exciting season in F1should remain part of our F1family.

Hell no Masi is done. He is corrupt.

No, just NO

Such critical errors...No he should not come back to F1...If he can't act under pressure in a sport like this...he has already failed. Stay away m8

Masi made the right decision at that time, it was a great race just not what Toto wanted😢

It would be a slap in the face to all F1 fans if he comes back.. I think F1 will get alot of hate if he come back..

Very unpopular opinion the ending of 2021 was the best in the last years 2022 or 23 was not interesting

What are you talking about 🙄. Who cares what any team could have done. He had one job and he did not follow THE RULES and do that job correctly.

It was only controversial if you were a Merc/HAM fan. Toto doesn’t want to admit that if Merc had called HAM in, HAM would have been world champion. If Massi had called red flag, VER fans would have cried just as loud. Sour grapes if you think otherwise.

"No Mikey, dat iz zo not rite"...toto cry baby cheater😅😂

I'm sorry but what he did was unforgivable, he might of been charlie whites understudy but charlie wouldn't of majorly fucked up like massi, guys trying to justify himself and creep back in !! Is he fucking mad? They will be an uproar and it won't go AWAY #massiout for a reason FIA DIRECTOR IS DELUDED

He should return. Let’s talk about Mercedes influence and why Toto tried to tell Michael what to do. They put so much pressure to have him fired even Hamilton was in hiding what a bunch of cry babies. Can’t wait to see their faces if Michael returns. 🤣🤣🤣

Hamilton fan boys caused the issues. Let's not pretend that everyone were up in arms. The all conquering mercedes was conquered and lewis fans didn't like the way lewis was dethroned

Also Toto should have pitted Lewis when the safety car went out plan and simple
