Responding to strong criticism of the FIA ​​and race management, race director Michael Masi said he supported all the time penalties awarded. In all three cases, the driver should have had more space, Masi thinks.

Masi saw the two incidents between Perez and Leclerc play out in a similar fashion and maintains that the time penalties were justified there as well. “Then it was the same on the reverse with Checo and out of turn four, then Checo and Charles again out of turn six,” said Masi.
