Michael Masi's one decision made it look like FIA was 'favouring Max Verstappen'
F1 race director Michael Masi made one decision which made it look like the FIA was "favouring Max Verstappen" at the end of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, it has been claimed. Pundit Karun Chandhok thinks Masi made an "error" by just selecting five cars between Lewis Hamilton and Verstappen to un-lap themselves under the safety car at the end of the race.

La nueva realidad de Honda
Se dijo que Honda dejaría la Fórmula 1 tras el pasado GP de Abu Dhabi, que les proclamó campeones del mundo dentro del RB16B de Max Verstappen, y que Red Bull confeccionaría sus propios motores. Pero con el paso de los meses, los éxitos en Milton Keynes y la congelación de las unidades de potencia de 2022 en adelante, los términos de la desvinculación de la fábrica japonesa y la casa austriaca han variado y no se producirá como tal. Hasta la temporada 2025, hay acuerdo (que se concretará pronto) para que los ingenieros nipones asistan a Red Bull. Además, los motores se ensamblarán en Sakura, como hasta ahora, y no en la planta que habían previsto en Inglaterra.
