Pete the Elaner Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 1 hour ago, Andrew P said: Horner criticises “harsh” decision to replace Masi as F1 race director. HE WOULD. https://www.racefans.net/2022/02/21/horner-criticises-harsh-decision-to-replace-masi-as-f1-race-director/ If the situation had been reversed, he would have threatened legal action for the next month. He has done it in the past. Also he claimed they got their tactics right, yet only a few laps before Latifi's crash, he said "we need a miracle or something from the racing gods". At least he is consistent with his inconsistency. I agree with his last sentence though: "The one thing that drivers want is a consistent application of the rules rather than penalties changing from race-to-race. I think that’s the challenge the FIA have got to obviously address this season." They need to review all situations which generated any sort of controversy & look at the rules. Loose rules are what allow inconsistency. These need to be updated, learned & accepted by all concerned before the first qualifying session. 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah although his interpretation of that 'consistent application of the rules' would be that Max gets' to shove other Drivers off the track at every turn as per Brazil. 4 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had long enough in the job to have sorted any rule issues. None of the incidents in 2021 were new. He has no excuse for not following rules either. It is his job to know them & in Hungary he got the re-start wrong by failing to penalise those who pitted for tyres instead of going to the grid. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
