FORMER Formula One world champion Damon Hill ‘feels sorry’ for sacked race director Michael Masi – and is unconvinced he should have lost his job. Masi was handed his P45 last month following his controversial handling of the final race of last season. “If they fix all that, then I’m not sure they needed to get rid of Michael [Masi]. “But not a happy ending to last year, quite honestly, from lots of different perspectives.”. Verstappen’s boss Horner said: “It’s a difficult one, and it’s the FIA’s business. “I think it is harsh, I think he was in a very difficult position last year. “We felt a lot of the decisions went against us last year. However, Horner’s conversations with Masi’s successor Freitas will not be made public.
