Formula One champion Max Verstappen defended Michael Masi on Thursday, saying the much-criticized former race director was “thrown under the bus” after last season's dramatic finale.
Reigning F1 champion Max Verstappen says it is unfair Michael Masi has lost his job as race director and believes he has been «thrown under a bus». Verstappen won the 2021 championship off the back of a controversial decision made by Masi in the last moments of the final race of the season at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
World champion Max Verstappen says it is «very unfair» Michael Masi has been removed from the post of race director, and he has been «thrown under the bus».
Es una frase echa en inglés, lanzar a alguien ‘under the bus’, que se puede traducir como forzar a alguien a que cargue con toda la culpa de un asunto, y son las palabras que utilizó Max Verstappen este jueves en la rueda de prensa que se celebró en Barcelona. Y es que Mercedes dijo un día antes que había que cerrar el capítulo de Abu Dhabi, igual que Lewis Hamilton dijo que su equipo «nunca se equivoca», hasta que le preguntaron al campeón del mundo por la decisión de la FIA, relevar a Masi y sustituirle por Eduardo Freitas y Niels Wittich.
Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen has launched a very firm defence of former Race Director Michael Masi, saying that he has been thrown under the bus with his removal from the role, and that the decision is ‘unfair.’
The FIA have issued a statement after Lewis Hamilton called for the need of 'non-biased' stewards on Wednesday during testing in Barcelona. The seven-time world champion also claimed that some stewards were very 'close friends' with certain drivers and even 'travel' together for racing.
Lewis Hamilton believes Formula One's stewards are biased and has demanded action is taken ahead of the new season.
Toto Wolff and Christian Horner have finally found consensus among their beliefs about the events of last season's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – they are both done talking about it.
