The wrinkle here was that he only unlapped a portion of the field, and there's no precedence for that.
Not a misapplication, and certainly not obvious. https://www.fia.com/sites/default/fi...t.%2048.12.pdf
That's such a stretch. Red Bull gambled with the pitstop and it paid off, but it also could have backfired. Him having fresh tires has nothing to do with Masi. |
Why was that Masi's goal though? Whiting would've ended the race under SC, as he did numerous times before. That's the thing, he couldn't avoid it while following the rules, instead he made his own rule(s) up. That's the consistency aspect of things, he fucked up bad and the best outcome is having Masi fired and bring in someone more competent, and make the rules much more clear for 2022 and on wards.
