Christian Horner says Mercedes ‘bullied’ Michael Masi into F1 exit and condemns social media 'trolling'
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has claimed Mercedes’ actions were “tantamount to bullying” after race director Michael Masi was replaced in the wake of the controversial 2021 season finale. A review into the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which saw Max Verstappen overtake Lewis Hamilton on the final lap to clinch the world title, resulted in Masi losing his job. Ad/> Mercedes’ team principal Toto Wolff was apoplectic in the paddock after a ruling from Masi ultimately denied Hamilton an eighth world title.
