Michael Masi (44), who was the race director of the F1 car race last season, made a controversial decision at the final round of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (GP) on the 31st, and then went online.
At the Abu Dhabi GP, where Red Bull's Max Verstappen (Netherlands) and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton (UK) were competing for the overall championship, Mashi was dispatched to a safety car at the end of the race with Hamilton leading. At that time, the race was restarted in a different procedure than usual.
As a result, the rankings were changed and Verstappen won the championship, and Verstappen also won the overall victory, which had a great influence on the result. Mr. Mashi was subsequently dismissed as the race director.
"There were dark days. I definitely felt I was the most hated man in the world. I was threatened with death. When I searched for me and my family, Mashi told News Corporation, a major US media company. Some people were saying it, "he said, explaining that he was in a state of anxiety.
He was also exposed to a lot of rants on Facebook, saying, "It was shocking. I received racism, taunts, terrible offenses, and all the words that exist in the world. What's that message? It was sent again and again. "
