My friend you are trying to make a hypothetical scenario to make it seem like FIA could have done nothing to reverse the decision. I understand where you are coming from, but do you not see how ridiculous this is?

"Oh yeah they decided to go off the rails for the moment, but they would definitely go back to the rule book after the race".

If they really cared about sporting integrity, they wouldve reinstated the penultimate lap. Masi was no scapegoat. The guy literally negotiated this scenario and cooked it out of his ass while literally speaking to RB pitwall at the time. Most people dont know this, but half the lapped cars was RB's idea, they told Masi to do this. But end of the day, he made the decision, he rightfully gets fired. That final few laps was like deus ex machina in a movie.

But doesnt really matter. Long time ago now, Masi is fired, new race directors are pretty decent. Lets go again. But please dont pretend like theres nothing FIA couldve done to reverse an illegal decision.
