After many controversial decisions throughout the whole 2021 Formula 1 season we believe Michael Masi should step down from his position as race director for the 2022 season. 

Michael Masi has not been able to competently complete his role this season and below are just a few examples of issues in the 2021 season. 

Examples of dangerous moments under his power:

2021 Azerbaijan GP - 2 heavy shunts in the fastest part of the track were not put under full course yellow or red flag for a long time (Up to a minute and a half). Max Verstappen was climbing out of his car whilst drivers were still coming past at 300kph+. The team that just crashed out (Red Bull) had to ask for a red flag so that drivers could change tyres after the tyres were clearly not safe, and this should not be the responsibility of the teams to suggest this. He also claimed that a wall in which drivers could hit at 300kph, were not dangerous, after former F1 champion Nico Rosberg voiced his concerns.

Portugese GP(s) - Loose drain covers caused dangerous issues in Portimao, and is possibly down to incompetence in track inspection. This occurred 2 years in a row (and in 2019 Baku), and this shouldn't have happened, especially the 2nd time around.

Examples of other poor race direction under his power:

2021 Bahrain GP (but also most of 2020 and 2021) - Track limits seemed to be extremely inconsistent throughout the weekends, causing confusion for fans and drivers, and extremely odd moments in the 2021 Bahrain GP where Verstappen had to concede a position he overtook off track, despite Hamilton going off track many times prior in that same place
