• It's called a motor race, OK

    From Bigbird@24:150/2 to rec.autos.sport.f1 on Wed Feb 9 21:27:21 2022

    Red Bull: Obviously those lapped cars, you don't need to let them go
    right the way around and catch up with the back of the pack.

    Masi: Understood.

    Red Bull: You need to let them go.

    Masi: Understood, just give us a second.

    Red Bull: ...and then we got a motor race on our hands.


    After the race, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff tells Masi what he
    has done is "not right".

    Masi replies: "Toto, it's called a motor race, OK?"

    And you posted this... ...why, exactly?

    What does it illuminate?

    There is suggestion that some of the full exchange, not quoted above,
    has only come to the fore yesterday.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/60318052

    Extract but best to read the full article though no doubt better
    exists within the racing congnicenti:

    <quote>
    Wheatley says: "Those lapped cars; you don't need to let them go right
    the way around and catch up with the back of the pack. You only need
    to let them go, and then we've got a motor race on our hands."

    Masi replies: "Understood."

    After the race, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff gets on the radio
    to tell Masi that what he has done is "not right".

    Masi replies: "Toto, it's called a motor race, OK?"

    The radio transmissions are not new - they were on a video released by
    Formula 1 on 16 December, four days after the race - but the one from
    Wheatley appears to have missed general circulation in the storm that
    followed.

    Their emergence into the public arena - they were trending on Twitter
    on Wednesday with the hashtag #F1xed - has come days before the FIA is
    due to reveal the outcome of its inquiry into Abu Dhabi to a meeting
    of the F1 Commission next Monday.

    And it fits an impression of Masi acting in Red Bull's favour during
    the race and against Mercedes' interests.

    Red Bull team principal Christian Horner had previously said to Masi:
    "Why aren't we getting these lapped cars out of the way? You only need
    one racing lap."

    Earlier that race when GIO had car failure I remember Wolff explicitly
    telling Masi to not release a safety car since "it interferes with the
    [motor] race".
