Mercedes chief Toto Wolff has blasted Michael Masi as a liability who disrespected the drivers. It is well documented how the Australian played a significant role in determining who won the 2021 F1 world title.
Throughout the campaign, Masi made some contentious decisions but none more so than in the closing stages of the Abu Dhabi GP last December. Wolff, who is still sore from the events of the controversial title decider four month ago, has spoken about the 44-year-old’s time as race director, revealing he had lunch with him before last season’s final race.
"It is quite interesting because I had lunch with him [Masi] on the Wednesday before the race, and I said to him that 'I really want to tell you, without patronising you, that you need to take criticism on board and develop from there,” he said. “Lewis does it every day, but you are a guy who always seems to know better.
