Red Bull chief Christian Horner has claimed that former FIA race director Michael Masi received death threats following his handling of the Abu Dhabi finale in 2021.
Masi was sacked last week as race director after his controversial safety car ruling at the Yas Marina circuit, which led to Max Verstappen benefitting and overtaking arch rival Lewis Hamilton in a single lap shootout after the Brit originally was cruising to his eighth world title.
After Hamilton was cruelly denied a record-breaking eighth world championship, Masi came under attack for his role and Horner, who saw his driver Verstappen win his first ever title in Abu Dhabi, has since revealed the Australian was subjected to vile death threats.
