It could be argued that the inadequate structure and lack of imagination of the administrators put Masi in that impossible position. Hence Brian’s excellent suggestion that F1 might learn something from NASCAR going forward from 2021. I’m all for trying to improve things for the future.

Sure, there are still grumbles in NASCAR, but the overall philosophy - if not the exact details - might be good for F1 to look at. They certainly know how to put on a show and keep the crew chiefs off their backs. The pitlane brawls are pretty special too - especially as most of the pit crew are ex-American footballers. Can’t see that becoming a feature of the F1 pitlane though…
