'Masi signed non-disclosure agreement with the FIA after the Abu Dhabi GP'

Former Formula One race director Michael Masi has reportedly signed a non-disclosure agreement with the FIA to stop talking about his decision during the controversial Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which led to Max Verstappen's first world title.

It has been months since the Abu Dhabi GP, but the 2021 title final is still being talked about regularly. Verstappen was able to overtake rival Lewis Hamilton in the closing stages of the race and walk away with victory in the championship. The Dutchman had the chance to attack seven-time world champion thanks to Masi's decisions during the safety car.

Masi reportedly said in an interview with The Daily Telegraph that he had signed a non-disclosure agreement with the FIA, which prevents him from discussing his decision during the race in Abu Dhabi, reports The Mirror. Masi also spoke about the death threats he received for months because of his role in the title fight.

The FIA has been criticised for months for not acting correctly in the race, according to fans and experts. According to an investigation by the FIA, Masi made a human error. The Australian has since left the governing body. On social media, fans are gathering to discuss the disclosure between Masi and the FIA. According to fans, it proves that the FIA is aware of the mistakes that were made in the very last race.
