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”. And he said the decision to remove him was “really incredible”. “That F1 allowed that team members could talk to him while making decisions is very wrong. It needed to be Michael making decisions on his own without people screaming in his ear. “I feel very sorry for Michael because he was very capable and a good race director. “It was just circumstances and decisions that were unprecedented and how they came about certainly for us was a shock,” he said.
