An enraged Wolff was heard on multiple occasions during the end of the 2021 season finale voicing his displeasure with Michael Masi and the entire world. The Austrian could only shout and scream as Masi’s erratic decision-making cost Mercedes man Lewis Hamilton what would have been a record-breaking eighth world championship.
When asked if that line of communication between team bosses and the Race Director should be severed during a Sky F1 special, Brundle said:
That, however, wasn’t the only instance of the Race Director being hounded by a team or more during the 2021 season. Brundle reflected on such instances by adding:
Brundle’s concerns are being echoed by many others in the sport as well. His comments come just as McLaren CEO Zak Brown has lashed out at F1 teams for their lobbying of Michael Masi. F1 Managing Director Ross Brawn has also expressed interest in scrapping communication lines between teams and race stewards.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff ’not interested’ in speaking to Michael Masi
Having spent much of 2021 on radio with Michael Masi, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff now claims he is ’not interested’ in speaking to the Australian Race Director.
Speaking during an interview with the Spanish edition of Motorsport Network, the 50-year-old Austrian said:
Masi’s future in F1 is currently the subject of speculation as the FIA’s internal investigation into the end of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix continues. Reports suggest he could be made ‘a sacrificial lamb’ as a result of the said investigation.
