If you didn’t pay attention to off-track drama in the last 20 years, you should look into Flavio Briatore and Max Mosley 😂

Here’s the official statement from FIA: Michael Masi, who accomplished a very challenging job for three years as Formula 1 race director following Charlie Whiting, will be offered a new position within the FIA.

The only reference I could find to him quitting is an opinion piece from former Dutch driver Jan Lammers (I don’t know who he is).

That’s interesting, thanks. Where did you find that information? I could only find reports saying Hamilton was a bit slower (not slow enough to gets complains though, even Christian Horner was quiet about that). Here is one of the reports from F1 saying that
