Decision delayed apparently. Probably awaiting instructions from Netflix.

Masi has lost his job as race director. An admission of guilt without putting matters right imo.

Going to be a job share, too much for one man (person)?

...or non person.

It wasnt too much for Charlie Whiting.

It wasnt too much for Charlie Whiting.

I am probably mistaken but my perception was that the job killed him.

Not surprising given the corruption

The race directors job needs someone who the paddock respect. Charlie had that respect. I don't think Masi ever did. The problem is finding someone better. I'd probably go with someone like Ross Brawn, if he could be persuaded to do it. Knows F1 inside out, knows the rule book inside out, worked at/with Ferrari, Benneton, Mercedes and run his own team. And more to the point explains quietly and succinctly why you should STFU and stop whinging when you're out of order.

Some won't like his involvement with Ferrari, but I don't know anyone more respected in the paddock. If he told Horner or Toto to shut up, I think they would.

Mazespin gone then

I wonder if we will get a full season in this year?

I reckon HAAS were glad of the opportunity to get rid of him.
Pity Crashtappen isnt Russian.

It looks like the whole Red Bull saga is about to get a lot worse.
The FIA imposed a budget cap on F1 teams a couple of years ago. It is very strongly rumoured that Red Bull are about to be exposed for having ignored the budget cap while everyone else stayed within it.
If this turns out to be true, it means the "success"  they  had last year and the design and development of this years car (and possibly next years) have been achieved by cheating from start to finish.
If its true, the only means of the "sport" keeping any credibility (if it does actually have any left) must be to cancel all their results from last year and this year, and keep an extremely close eye on them in the future.
Personally I think they are an odious bunch of people who have damaged the sport, probably beyond repair, and should be permanently banned.
None of the above will happen of course.
I predict it will be

A, swept under the carpet
B.  a whitewash
C. found guilty of a lesser charge, with a relatively minor punishment.
