• Wow. The new race directors are working out great!

    From Alan@24:150/2 to rec.autos.sport.f1 on Fri May 20 08:58:54 2022
    'He [Alonso] also heavily criticised Niels Wittich, who has acted as
    race director at all five races this year.

    Alonso pointed to Wittich's decision not to respond to drivers' requests
    for an impact-absorbing barrier to be installed at a corner where
    Ferrari's Carlos Sainz crashed heavily in Friday practice in Miami.

    Sainz had complained in the drivers' briefing that the impact was far
    more severe than it should have been given the low speed involved, but
    was told it was a freak accident and a barrier was not necessary.

    Alonso's team-mate Esteban Ocon had an almost identical accident the
    following day, which damaged his car's chassis.'

    <https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/61523371?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA>

    'Asked if he had seen evidence of improvement from the FIA following the restructure that came after former race director Michael Masi failed to
    apply the rules directly in last season's controversial championship
    finale, Alonso said: "Not."

    "We saw a couple of things already that showed we still need to improve
    a lot," he added.

    "You need to have some knowledge about racing before being a race
    director or trying to monitor a race and I don't think that knowledge is
    in place at the moment.'

    And:

    'Wittich has also courted controversy this year for taking a
    by-the-letter approach to the rules, which has led to drivers being told
    they cannot wear any jewellery in the car.

    Alonso said: "We just need to keep improving that we are the only ones
    driving the cars and experiencing the crashes and when we feel something
    is needed, we should be listened to.

    "In Miami and some other examples we didn't have that because it seems
    the focus is in another place."

    Lewis Hamilton said in Miami that the new focus on jewellery and
    clothing was "almost a step backwards" and said the sport had "bigger
    fish to fry".

    Asked about Alonso's comments, McLaren's Lando Norris said: "Fernando's
    a guy you would listen to in terms of the experience he has in racing.
    If he says what he says, he's probably got a bit of a point, at least."

    Alonso's comments also come in the context of a widespread
    dissatisfaction among teams and at commercial rights holders F1 at some
    of the FIA's actions this year.'

    Perhaps that's why there's talk of this:

    'Rocky may be the greatest comeback story ever told, but it may get some
    tough competition if Michael Masi becomes F1rCOs newest race director!

    Michael Masi has cut a controversial shape in Formula One. After making
    an rCLerrorrCY (to put it lightly) in the handling of last seasonrCOs finale in Abu Dhabi, Masi was removed and replaced by Niels Wittich and Eduardo Freitas.

    However, FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem has revealed that Masi could
    be in contention to make a dramatic and highly controversial return.'

    <https://wtf1.com/post/michael-masi-could-make-an-f1-race-director-comeback-in-2023/>

    With so many here convinced that the non-sacking of Masi was proof
    positive that he wasn't competent to be an F1 race director, would any
    of you care to comment?

    What you are saying is the new race directors are not up to the task, that
    my indeed be the case
    It does not mean the Massi should return as he also proven to be fallible (That said he would probably have learnt from his mistake)

    SNAFU.

    Going backwards is not a way forwards. It's not an impossible job and incompetence should not be acceptable.
    Perhaps the FIA needs to have a closer look at their recruitment
    process.

    That aside not surprisingly the finger pointing by Baker is a
    misrepresentation of the article which refers to a number of problems
    with the FIA overall not the race director.
    Of the two complaints about the race director one is trivial,
    enforcement of clothing regulations, get over it Lewis that's his job.
    The other very serious and should require a response from the FIA.

    I have often got the feeling that it's acts more like a boys club than

    Yup.

    But honestly... ...it's a pretty obvious one to "get".

    So was "Any lapped cars" ant "Safety car in on the following lap"
    but the
    last guy missed both of those.

    The last guy was operating under instructions from above.

    And his "failure" was so terrible that there's already talk he's
    going to be race director again.

    Hate to sound like a lame mirror - but "prove it".

    Can't they cushion the track surface, too? Seems hard.
