A Formula 1 Grand Prix chief has suggested under-fire race director Michael Masi may have resigned from his role rather than having had it taken away from him ahead of the upcoming season.
Masi has been at the centre of a storm for the past two months, after making some dubious calls at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in December.
His decision to bring out the safety car after Nicholas Latifi's crash is universally acknowledge as the correct one, even if it did make race leader Lewis Hamilton nervous as he lost his time buffer with just a few laps to go.
