We already heard Toto Wolff complain about Michael Masi in the final phase of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. There were also a few images, but now we also have a footage of the Mercedes team boss for two minutes at one single time. The Austrian is furious.
The team boss seems quite desperate. He doesn't agree with Masi's decision to let five cars pass the safety car so they can get rid of their lap deficit. Max Verstappen is able to catch up directly with Lewis Hamilton to pass him in the last lap on new softs.
Wolff can't hold back
Just tell us now who will be the 2022 WDC and spare me the time of watching this debacle called F1. FIA pinnacle of racing…..not! Pinnacle of BS more appropriate.
Sack Nasi Total incompetant and bias clearly RB got to think and influenced his decision or was paid a bribe by RB .. sack him and throw him on the scale heap. His thoughts process was bought clearly. The rules state one thing here. He picked to s money refund hides and laughs in the face off honesty and decent to there is no way what this fill did was fair offer with the rules . This guy proves he is not capable of making an honest decision .
Michael Masi should be relieved of his duties. He's obviously not equipped for the task he's been given.
Raging Wolff. Could be an interesting title for a song. Like "wounded knee" I Love to watch this video. Over and over again.
Call it luck , fortunate or even a miracle that Max had the opportunity to overtake in a clean and legal way ( not mentioning Lewis maintaining the lead after he cut the corner) . Luck turns , it had been most of the time on Lewis side for the last … years , decade ? However there’s no point trying to blame Masi , FIA , FISA or even Latifi . Toto is capable of unleashing his battery of lawyer on him too ,. Toto is only there for the money , he has not an ounce of sportsmanship in his body .
All you arm chair experts need to get back to your day jobs, I'm waiting on my justeats (LOL), The team cost him that win by not pitting him when the VSC came out, it's not the 1st race they've cost him but it maybe the most painful.
The biggest scam in the history of the sport. Lewis takes the lead at the start. Builds a gap. Checo holds him up. Lewis overtakes, builds a gap. VSC: Max gets new tires. Lewis keeps the gap. SC: Max pits. cars get in between. Horner asks Masi to remove them. Masi obeys. Max overtakes thanks Masi. Biggest scam, unworthy to be champion. The world witnessed and speaks out the disgrace. Meanwhile Max and Red Bull party as if they actually won and beat Lewis. LMFAO. Max is NOT the WDC.
That's what Hamilton gets for trying to take max out last week. And MAX GOT THE PENALTY FOR "BREAK TESTING" the bloody cry baby. He's that child in school that screams " Miss you forgot to check the homework" Asshole
Toto behaviour was unprofessional to say the least. Toddler sounds more appropriate though. At turn 6 when Hamilton took that short cut, Michael Masi was on his side and it was all good. When the safety car incident happened he shouted, he shouted,"Mike, Mike what are you doing???" The allegations about Masi being on Mercedes pay roll comes to light. Max came out on top, so happy for him.
Well done Max you deserve the title. You and your team were brilliant. Toto life is a bitch. Remember Silverstone when Lewis took.out Max well you just got bitten in the backside. Love Carma. Max is a better driver than Lewis. Merry Chrismas.
Well done Max your team's strategy eas perfect. You beat Lewis fair and square. Toto life is a bitch. What Lewis did at Silverstone just bit you in the behind. Merry Chrismas
Strangely satisfying to watch. He has reduced himself to a meme. Bad loser. . It's embarrassing. The whole team is embarrassing
To be completely fair, although it seems painful, these decisions have been going both ways all year, fair and no so fair and the race director has been influenced by Wolf as well as Horner throughout the year as well as last night. So when it all come down to it, you cannot just accept the decisions that go your way, but you must accept all decisions as hard a that might be. When boiled down Verstappen was the better driver throughout the year against a very quick car and driver, and finally got some serious luck last night, that Hamilton has been enjoying a lot of lately also. Congratulate him for the title! And I have to admit I finally got more respect for Hamilton last night for the way he handled himself after the race, no doubt alot to do with his dad. Good on him, and he is a champion. What an absolute cracker last night, thoroughly enjoyed it.
At the very least we should have had a standing start with three laps to go. That would be following the protocol used in Baku (that race where Loo Loo's lock up cost him the championship.
Max won fair and square, with 7 races old engine!!!he was right behind lewis's rocket. He had the position in lap one, Lewis should have been ordered to give back the position,,, but FIA favoured Lewis once again. Merc not swapping Lewis's tyers was a big mistake,as they wanted the track postion. It's MB's fault and they costed Lewis the title. Honestly, Max had the title a long time ago for all his bad lucks,,Now all you haters,, Suck it up and make way to the new WDC ,, MV33.. Woooohooooo...
This is just....footage for the ages! I can just rewatch this on a loop for the next 24 hours ???
Glorious finish to the World Championship. Superb final lap of the race. The race was won on the track. Toto dodo showing himself up, clear to be seen the mercedes staff are petrified of an almighty outburst. Max won, the rest is noise !!
We need 10 minutes of that. I would like to see the happy faces before. Just to know how it will turn out. And to add radio messages to Hamilton same time.... And same from RedBull pitwall, Horner went also nuts there (in a positive way).
Happy faces .. yes , now they know how the Felipe Massa crowd felt when Lewis was let past to claim enough points to become WC
In what way FIA and Masi helpt Verstappen? It's the rules, there is no twisting or bending in when to continue racing. We have seen plenty of bending/twisting of similar actions where FIA and Masi always saving Mercedes. There was just no bending rule option here. They tried for 3 laps by not letting lapped cars pass by, but that was just to much bending and couldn't continue doing it. The Real fake driver is going home empty handed still not winning with a faster car and so many times free passes from FIA (or penalties for Redbull).
So my decision No more F1 No more Red Bull Never buy a Honda & Australians @#@@
Didnt notice you to start with. Please close the door behind you. Seeya cobba
Good to hear that we won't hear from you again. Don't moan, remember Silverstone
My last minutes were like this. I started to clean my home, as it looked pretty clear that positions would stay unchanged. Until Latifi crashed, but still I thought there probably not gonna be time to any race laps. And then came message lapped cars cannot overtake and I thought what a weird message, as you could easily get 1 more lap of racing. And then they show that 5 lapped cars could actually overtake. Then I sit down and was ready for some really crazy last lap, if I was Hamilton I would have defended more, cause no DRS and Hamilton having faster straight line speed. I thought he would just hold the inside line and keep Verstappen blocked. But I guess Verstappen move so early even surprised him, all thought it's gonna come next long straight. Only one time I've screamed more than today, was when Häkkinen overtook Schumacher at Spa, Zonta being in middle, me being Häkkinen supporter at that time.
Yeah, too be honest, I was only half watching the race. It was obvious that Lewis easily had the faster car.
Procedure was not followed masi must have taken a bribe from red bull to change the result he must go as the decisions on the last few races have been very bad seems like the job is to much pressure for him.
Procedure was followed. There was time for 1 lap race and everything was done for that to happen. Procedure would not have followed, if lapped cars would have stayed in their position.
You made a strong case for the opposite side. the race was supposed to end under yellow as you state it would have not happened if they followed the regulations.
As it was the last race and last lap then I see the procedure carried out as being the best you can do really. We are here racing and want to seeracing as many laps as possible. Nobody wants to see cars driving around behind safety car when you can go racing, will it be 1 lap, 2 laps or 50 laps. And everytime we have a chance to race, we should race.
The race was supposed the end under red in Baku with Max 1st right? Yet FIA gave Lou Lou another chance
True , and it is not Max’s fault that Lewis can’t operate the magic brake button properly.
Race director can use the safety car as he sees fit, period. Just because he did not follow precedent does not make what he did illegal. Questionable yes, but not illegal
If you listen you will hear he was influenced by both bosses on 2 different occasions. Tough gig to get right under huge pressure. But he made a fair call at the end there, despite how most Hamilton fans will feel right now
Sure. There was a fund raising action all over the world last month. Just to bribe Masi.. And fortunatly it worked ! Don't moan, remember Silverstone.
Would have loved to see @StateOfPlay @FlatOut @Veganwarrior and @Shaka 's reaction for 2 minutes uncut ?
They started accounts on the motogp blog. Give them some time
And now they are googling, who was champion of 2021 in moto GP so they know who to "cheer to".
Comment of the day. You'd think they'd jump on the Marquez band wagon but I think they'll be triggered by the fact he's on a Honda bike
Lol, where is Shaka today? As you can see, Shaka as wrong, I'm still alive and welll, and quite happy.
haha just 2 minutes? I would've loved to see it for 24 hours hahahaha.
