Toto Wolff aims fresh dig at Michael Masi ahead of Abu Dhabi F1 finale: ‘We have a proper race director'

Masi oversaw the controversial 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2021 Abu Dhabi title decider between168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton and M168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:ax Verstappen.
The Australian’s incorrect application of the Safety Car rules led to Verstappen passing Hamilton when the race restarted on the final lap. Verstappen subsequently clai🌜med his maiden championship, while Hamilton was denied a record eighth world title.
An FIA inquiry found “human error” was r⭕esponsible and Masi was removed from his position and replaced by current race director Niels Wittich for the 2022 season.
Wolff made a cutting reference to the controversy following the Las Vegas Grand Prix as he༺ assessed Mercedes’ battle with Ferrari over second place in the constructors’ champio﷽nship.
“I think we’re going there pretty much equal on points and we have a proper race director, 🅷so that should be fine,” the Mercedes team principal said.

“Then let’s race. It’s all down to the last weekend. They are very quick and done a✱ good job. I think we could have been on par [in Las Vegas]. But the result shows something different.&n🤡bsp;
"To be honest, it’s good to have P2 as a positive🌠 to finish the season, but P2, P3 for me there is little… it doesn’t make me particularly cheerful anyw💦ay.”
Last week, Wolff revealed 🌠his motivation is fueꦇlled from “personal anger” to deliver Hamilton a record-breaking eighth world title.
“I have a personal anger, and drive to make him win the eighth title because he should have had it,” Wolff told PA Sport✤.
It is the latest🍨 in 🔯a series of digs the Austrian has aimed at Masi.
At the start of this year, Wolff saiওd in an interview with The Times: “That is a moment when you fa⛎ll out of love with the sport. The principle of fairness was breached.
“The FꦡIA took the guy out of the job because it was a human error. But it’s done and dusted now. I still think about it a lot, but not with angeไr; it is just incomprehensible how it came about.”
