Re: Michael Masi. 1 Year on.

I'm not saying I agree with the choice. The events of *that* race really put me off following F1 as closely as I had for a couple of seasons. I've only recently started making an effort to watch qualifying and the races again! I'll watch FP sessions if I've got a slow day at work or if I'm on the tu...

51 pages and I still have never seen anybody give a legitimate reason as to why Masi hand picked just the cars between Hamilton and Verstappen and no others.
