Masi revealed that he received death threats after his controversial role in the last-gasp title fight between ♋Hamilton and Verst♐appen.
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff re𒁃cently said to : “It was tough after Abu Dhabi.
“I have always liked the principle that the stopwatch never lies. The team that wins is the💙 one that deserves to be the champi🥂on.
“But this was d🥂ifferent. At the end of the race, an individual took decisions that were not reflected anywhere in the rule book and were so drastic that they made the outcome unbelievable.
“That is a moment 🌳when you fall out of love with the sport. The principle of fairness was breached.
“The FIA 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 anger; it is just incomprehensible how it came abou🥂t.”
