Any other angles ? Can't make my mind up from that image
It's beautiful.
Ferrari maybe pointier!Pointy fecker that one
Two people will now alternate in the role, while extra help will be provided to officialsYep, Masi has been officially removed now. I would have thought that's enough for Hamilton to stay for at least another year now, assuming they give the two new people more support and clarify the rules.

Why is it ridiculous? Its a positive changeTwo people will now alternate in the role, while extra help will be provided to officials
Already sounds ridiculous!
About time. Good riddanceYep, Masi has been officially removed now. I would have thought that's enough for Hamilton to stay for at least another year now, assuming they give the two new people more support and clarify the rules.

If they just stick to the rules it doesn't.Two people alternating means inconsistency.
The stewards are different between races anyway.Two people alternating means inconsistency.
I hope you are right. Just seems like a pointless exercise to have 2 different people doing it. Perhaps seeing which works best and giving them the role?If they just stick to the rules it doesn't.
Was thinking about that and of course football refs. Perhaps this helps if one is sick or otherwise unable to attend. Either way, positive step to see Masi go. He sounded totally out of his depth even before the final race.The stewards are different between races anyway.
That's good to hear.Eduardo Freitas as a race director is a very smart choice. He has zero emotion in WEC, which is what's needed in this role to manage the prima donna sporting directors.
Perhaps. I wouldn't mind it being split between even more if qualified and capable people are found. The race director really shouldn't be at the center of attention anyway and I hope F1 finds a way back to the days when we rarely heard from them and when we did there was no argument to be had (red flagging after crashes etc.).I hope you are right.

Charlie Whiting is hugely missed. Above all he was largely respected by everyone, but that was due to consistent decision making.Perhaps.

To be honest I never knew how much he contributed to F1 until he was goneCharlie Whiting is hugely missed. Above all he was largely respected by everyone, but that was due to consistent decision making.

We'll see some of that coming back with Herbie Blash returning to the fold.To be honest I never knew how much he contributed to F1 until he was gone
Obviously knew about him etc. but I hadn't been aware how good he was because his quality meant there was little to talk about him.
That's the BBC stating the obvious."Masi failed to correctly apply the rules in a late safety car period and had a direct impact on the outcome of the title race".
...Did they just admit Lewis was robbed?
