Think Red Bull would quietly be pleased too. Masi tended to make their life difficult throughout last season.

Masi was quite poor last year, even before the final race.
What is odd though is the end of this report. VAR in F1 ?

Not saying he was great, but not everyone is perfect. Even Charlie Whiting had his bad moments.
Most of the decisions that he seems to be lumped with are not his, like stewards

He proved inconsistent and that was his downfall. In other news, rumour has it Alpine's Renault engine is a step backwards for 2022.

It's as though Alonso is cursed to always have the worst engine these days.

Hopefully Piastri can be signed by someone else then

At least he’s been offered a new role I guess.

Needs heaps more explanation. All decisions in F1 have been/are effectively VAR given they are made based on video...

Its hardly surprising that Masi has been removed as race director, but I find it curious that all the recent articles either gloss over how inappropriate the conduct of the team principles/managers were in the situation or only focus on one of the last things that Wheatley said to him during the Abu Dhabi debacle. Everything Toto did just got laughed off because of how meme-worthy him screaming "No Michael, no!" was

They should have kept him on but gave him some help to reduce his workload.

Hamilton and Toto get their scapegoat. Not a good precedent.

i know it's not a popular view but i reckon he balls-up the final race.
They did say something about someone talking to him from redbull than he decided to start the race.

Both the teams were in his ear from the time Latifi crashed until the end of the race.

Also can't forget that with the crash (Kimi from memory?) earlier during the race, Toto was in his ear pleading for their not to be a safety car......

Found this odd. It doesn't address the problem (Team Directors complaining to the race director for every incident), just means it won't be broadcast

That's a very tight rear. Nice car too.
