Not sure if you're referring to a specific situation that is not applicable. are you? Which one specifically?

I think the problem was not what Masi said but how he said it/present it.
He made it sound like a flea market bargaining. Which it wasn't.
IMHO, he should state clearly FIA's position about Max gaining a lasting advantage off track, and this is what FIA recommends...... Otherwise FIA race control will refer the incident to the race stewards. **Period**
The tone and presentation just doesn't bode confidence or in control. Definitely doesn't sound good to the public. |
He's not there to please the public. We eavesdrop in their conversations. They all know what's being discussed and why.
It didn't even take a full minute for Horner to come back and accept the offer of remediation.
That only happened because there was a red flag involved.
If cars were on track, they'd be told to reverse positions or be referred to stewards.
That's how it went, and no complaints from either side. All good.
