The race director must be a figure with extremely high, already existing, levels of respect throughout the paddock. The reason Charlie Whiting was so incredibly effective is the huge amount of respect he had earned. Everyone always knew he was right, even if they wished he wasn’t. If he wasn’t right, he admitted it, and if anyone disagreed he was openly happy to discuss and there was never an issue after that.
@@dksiixyeah I thought ever since he retired he would be a great race director. Always knew the rules inside out, better than any other driver.

A few days ago every F1 driver signs a letter calling out Bin Sulayem, then mysteriously Wittich "steps down". I spent half of my life in the UAE and can confidently join the dots here. Bin Sulayem, shocked at the cheek of the drivers for having the nerve to complain about him, had a quick look around for someone to throw under the F1 car, and Wittich just happened to be walking past. It's a cultural thing. They don't take criticism very well.
Craig Slater reminds me of that drunk uncle that arrives at the family barbecue just so he can tell the kids Santa isn’t real and then complains that he’s never invited to anything, kicks the table over and leaves.
Can you PLEASE stop referring to AD2021 as a ‘mistake’. It was not a mistake!! What we are seeing in F1 is obviously MBS fighting to stay in his position and removing anybody that opposes him
Massi broke from standard procedure by only allow some cars to un-lap themselves. That is clearly a mistake. The result stands, but saying it wasn’t a mistake is flat wrong.
You are indeed correct, It wasn't a mistake, it was clear race fixing. The FIA even admitted that Masi didn't follow the rules. He was sacked as a consequence. Since 2021 F1 has been classed as a circus show and corrupt.
Yeah he was never the top IQ driver. I duno like MotoGP with Freddie has similar issue. Just because you used to ride/drive doesnt mean you are educated. These days it usually means u arent and skipped school as a child to race. Simon Crafar in motogp is prolly best replacement. He is knowledgeable, prolly ocd/AHD and experienced. Those things can create an amazing leader
@@bucks9662 Disagree, In a post DTS social media era it's impossible. Long gone are the days I grew up with re Charlie Whiting. Just take the stewards for example, now we want permanent stewards...once we have that everyone will micro focus on every individual steward & claim they're biased to an extreme level. Just look at other sports, there's controversy no matter what you do e.g. VAR.
@@d.b.cooper1 There is always is going to be somebody, even when you do the job absolutely perfectly (which in a job like this isn't very possible) who is unhappy and pumping out what are very clearly indefensibly bad conspiracy theory... Whiting made plenty of mistakes, and took the hits for it - the important thing he brought was openly talking to the drivers and teams about how he view the rules, and why he made the decisions he did. By justifying that controversial decision and letting everyone follow along on his thinking even when you are losing out you know what is going on, and can understand what to expect going forward. Unlike F1 since liberty media where and Whiting's death where only stuff that can't harm the sports image or can't possibly be hidden is talked about - sure the public might never have to gotten to hear everything, but at least the teams/drivers got to talk it through behind closed doors so everyone knows what is going on for some semblance of fairness.
@@d.b.cooper1 Well it’s true of any officiating that someone wont be happy. I like to think the large majority can agree on good officials even when they dont agree on certain things that are quite hard to judge. Fact is the US GP performance of the stewards was objectively bad for almost anyone who saw it and more importantly went against any precedent set… I understand post DTS there is an influx of less knowledgable fans, but most are still on the ball with this stuff.
that is not true. look at the var in football. 99% of the time there is no longer complaints about offside goals. if the stewards and race director do things by the book and not because of bias, it could work very well.
Slater didn’t bring up Massi, the host did. You clearly either didn’t listen or got so trigged by that name being said you forgot who mentioned his name first lol. Here, listen again 1:50.
Now the WEC season has finished, bring back Eduardo Freitas. The F1 championship will not end in a controversial manner so he is the safe choice right now. Then think about new blood next year.
I think he left in mild disgrace from the F1 paddock at least when the crane incident happened with Gasly in 2022 at Suzuka. I doubt he would be asked or would want the role again. Also with how much scrutiny is placed on the race director now I wonder who on earth WOULD actually want to do it...
@@PhO3NiX96from a very quick Google search I found the name Alain Adam. Even if that's not his name I agree he is very good. I suppose my fear is I think Masi, Freitas and Wittich were all held in pretty high regard until they got the F1 gig and they suddenly became not so good...
@ and? that logic doesn’t mean anything because you can’t rely on it. Max is also one Lando dnf to win the WDC or Leclerc is two Max Lando crashes away, you can’t rely on things that are extremely unlikely to happen
I now see why they call f1 the circus. I really believe it's scripted now. Maybe not long ago but now it seems like the ones leaving are not into the match fixing.
Race directing has been a mess and quite frankly dangerous. Numerous obvious red flags or SC calls coming extremely late etc. been a mess since Masi. Can they right the ship? Race directing should be pretty straightforward, with black and white rules to follow and quick judgements made, but it feels more and like there’s pressure to deliver more entertainment.. which is a dangerous place to be.
My guess is that he refused to do a repeat of Masa 2021 if it came to it especially after recent attempts to skew race outcomes in favor of a last race battle - think of the 40 second delayed red flag in Brazil qualifying to favor other drivers but Max
What part of the situation do you struggle with. 2 seconds after Stroll left the track, Le Clerc dumped Max out of the top 10. 2 seconds. At that exact moment Stroll was trying to move his car back to the track and yellows were out. Max was a car behind Stroll. Max was never going to improve his lap. There was 1.35 left on the clock when Max was relegated to 11th. Even with a red flag right then, the best times going on were 1.28/1.29. To get another run in he would need to be at the front of the queue and pull a quali lap on cold tyres and unsighted conditions, using his battery to make the line to get a timed lap. Whether the red flag took 2 seconds 10 seconds, 20 seconds or 52 seconds, Max was out.
Its all about the way Safety was applied during the Brasilian race. It was a mess.... Remember Jules Bianchi Japan 2014. You just cannot wait with SC's or Red Flags. When Norris decided to do another warm up lap, he should have holded the rest and let Norris start from pit-lane, because there was immediate danger for the crew working on stroll's car. After all, Stroll went off at that point in a warm up lap, so there would be a genuine risk someone else could go off there again and hurt the trackside stewards. So Safty first.... That will be the reason he got sacked if you ask me. And right they were to do so.
The outcome of Abu Dhabi 2021 was not a mistake. Please!!! It was a deliberate institutional effort from many sides to illegally and immorally deprive SLH from his 8th Championship.
"Massey had a decent season in charge and then made a mistake"...Massey allowed Max to spend the enitre season running drivers (mainly Lewis) straight off the race track, or have a crash. God, Craig Slater does talk some shite...although still not as much as Crofty. Sometimes I have to mute the audio when Crofty gets into full swing!
@@husseinomar1981 people got used to the boringness. they hated the 21' season and they hate this season lol. they just want a mercedes or red bull leading by 30 seconds every race clearly
If he has left with immediate effect, then he was more than likely let go. If he wanted to leave on his own volition, I'm sure he would have finished the season with only three races left. The FIA and FOM are constantly at logger heads. I think Ben Sulayem needs to be replaced with someone that does not have the Arab countries in their ear. He makes decisions, and then changes them, as if someone else is telling him what to do. Something has not been right with F1 for quite a while now - starting at the top, and ending with the stewards.
@@raheem201231nothing just Mclaren and lando bottled another win and they and their fans and british Media especially Sky sports start crying blaming the red Flag and some drivers change tyres in pitlane Meanwhile The red flag in Qualifying screw Max was normal to them lol
I don't care who is in charge. What I want is someone who writes the rules properly, and applies them equally to all drivers, regardless of them fighting for P1 or for P18. We cannot have some drivers getting away with stuff while others get penalties for the exact same thing. And I am not saying this for Max only. The amount of discrepancies with penalties is very frustrating. Some get penalties for one action, and others for the exact same thing don't... We have seen this in qualifyings, in FPs and during race weekends...
For over 4 years now we have had some of the most ridiculous calls in F1. It is like a circus show. You have one team and one driver who think they are above the rules and the FIA continually let them get away with it. Hopefully this sacking will change this clown show back into a sport.
Because everyone saw him celebrating for RB, naughty naughty’!! F1 is going to the dogs anyways!! Money money money money!! To be honest, the last race was probably one of the worst I’ve seen in 20 years!! Should never have gone forth Spa wasn’t even that bad, yet that was cancelled Oh btw, he was sacked!! Not stepped down Sky spreading more false news
Wins in 2024 so far (with 3 races to go): Max 8, Lando 3, Charles 3, Lewis 2, Oscar 2, Carlos 2, George 1 Would it really look right for anyone other than Max to be named World Champion? Even if Lando (or Charles) win it on points in the next 3 races, how can they feel and be seen like a true champ if they haven't achieved most wins? To me, the Sao Paulo GP sealed it. The rest is politics.
Cant be the delayed red flag that was totally spot on car off the track double waved yellows that did not affect the current laps being finished.....Theres more to this
i actually said the red flag thing in the race in brazil could be a conspiracy theory. could i actually be right? 3 races to go and then this happens? very unusual.
@@Mandykiss4500 the red flag should have been thrown out 2 laps before, it did not happen, the conspiracy theory is, that the race director did not want this to happen because that would give max a huge advantage over lando, ofcourse when pinto crashed his car, he had to throw the red flag, so the race director his plan did not work. that is the conspiracy theory. and same for the illegal start of lando norris. that should have been at least a 5 place grid penalty.
I think it has to come out eventually. That the fia have been fabricating this season to be artificially competitive, it should be illegal and if it doesn’t ever come out then maybe I’m wrong but I believe this is another example supporting my suspicion
Sorry to hear …. This kind of sudden changes in work environments sometimes come when critical diagnosis are received ❤. I hope it’s not the case, and I hope it’s just a matter of opinions disagreements … but I feel there could be health issues behind the reasons

If he has left with immediate effect, then he was more than likely let go. If he wanted to leave on his own volition, I'm sure he would have finished the season with only three races left. The FIA and FOM are constantly at logger heads. I think Ben Sulayem needs to be replaced with someone that does not have the Arab countries in their ear. He makes decisions, and then changes them, as if someone else is telling him what to do. Something has not been right with F1 for quite a while now - starting at the top, and ending with the stewards.
All we need now is Red Bull to be band and that 99% of corruption out of F1
Got a big retirement check from Ferrari and McLaren.
Not surprised after the Sau Paulo fiasco. His team clearly lacked decision making skills and he has to take the blame obviously.
What happened at Brazil?
@@raheem201231nothing just Mclaren and lando bottled another win and they and their fans and british Media especially Sky sports start crying blaming the red Flag and some drivers change tyres in pitlane Meanwhile The red flag in Qualifying screw Max was normal to them lol
Get rid of Ben, and Spotty Herbert.
"Norris is still battling for championship"
Pure copium
Wait until 2027 when Liberty fix it for HAM to get his 8th WDC in a Ferrari...... You heard it here first
He claimed he didn't step down but he said he was fired with immediate effect
I don't care who is in charge. What I want is someone who writes the rules properly, and applies them equally to all drivers, regardless of them fighting for P1 or for P18. We cannot have some drivers getting away with stuff while others get penalties for the exact same thing. And I am not saying this for Max only. The amount of discrepancies with penalties is very frustrating. Some get penalties for one action, and others for the exact same thing don't... We have seen this in qualifyings, in FPs and during race weekends...
He doesn’t need a script, he just makes it all up as he goes along - just for a laugh.
The FIA have the chance to do the funniest thing ever and hire Guenther as race director
Massi is back, Lando world champion confirmed!
Place your sports bets now!
Bruh this doesn’t even make sense
@ neither does a resignation with 3 races left
For over 4 years now we have had some of the most ridiculous calls in F1. It is like a circus show.
You have one team and one driver who think they are above the rules and the FIA continually let them get away with it.
Hopefully this sacking will change this clown show back into a sport.
At this point, they might as well just scrap the rule book. Let's see what a pantomime we'll get
This has not told us anything. Waste if time
Cant believe its been 5 years since we lost Charlie Whiting 😢
Does he hate Liverpool aswell?? 🤣🤣🤣
I do
They need a new race director to rig the last 3 races in favor of mclaren
Because everyone saw him celebrating for RB, naughty naughty’!!
F1 is going to the dogs anyways!!
Money money money money!!
To be honest, the last race was probably one of the worst I’ve seen in 20 years!! Should never have gone forth
Spa wasn’t even that bad, yet that was cancelled
Oh btw, he was sacked!! Not stepped down
Sky spreading more false news
The last race he made huge mistakes, looked borderline corrupt if it wasn't incompetence.
They fired the wrong guy.
It is fairly obvious that MBS is the problem.
His decision making has been awful recently
No one should be allowed 8 WDC's until they pull Michael from life support.
If they need someone with experience to replace him then Michael Massi might be free 😂
Horndog Horner and Crashstappen would love it 😂
Wins in 2024 so far (with 3 races to go): Max 8, Lando 3, Charles 3, Lewis 2, Oscar 2, Carlos 2, George 1
Would it really look right for anyone other than Max to be named World Champion? Even if Lando (or Charles) win it on points in the next 3 races, how can they feel and be seen like a true champ if they haven't achieved most wins? To me, the Sao Paulo GP sealed it. The rest is politics.
He's quitting because he failed to do his assigned job, which was make sure Lando Norris wins at any cost
Cant be the delayed red flag that was totally spot on car off the track double waved yellows that did not affect the current laps being finished.....Theres more to this
Next we need to get rid of the super biased FIA Steward Johnny Herbert!
English media covering for biased English refs. Hilarious.
Yet another example of how much of a mess the sport is in
Dodgy shinanigans, that's what's going on. Not watched F1 since they started fixing the races. Corrupt to the core.
i actually said the red flag thing in the race in brazil could be a conspiracy theory. could i actually be right? 3 races to go and then this happens? very unusual.
Um, you do know a Driver Crashed right? It’s not a Conspiracy
@@Mandykiss4500 the red flag should have been thrown out 2 laps before, it did not happen, the conspiracy theory is, that the race director did not want this to happen because that would give max a huge advantage over lando, ofcourse when pinto crashed his car, he had to throw the red flag, so the race director his plan did not work. that is the conspiracy theory. and same for the illegal start of lando norris. that should have been at least a 5 place grid penalty.
I think it has to come out eventually. That the fia have been fabricating this season to be artificially competitive, it should be illegal and if it doesn’t ever come out then maybe I’m wrong but I believe this is another example supporting my suspicion
Sorry to hear …. This kind of sudden changes in work environments sometimes come when critical diagnosis are received ❤. I hope it’s not the case, and I hope it’s just a matter of opinions disagreements … but I feel there could be health issues behind the reasons
Did he confirm the price of one lap of the race in Brazil that was not run?
The price is only 5000€
What really can we expect from sky sports news
