Wrong Michael Masi(ni) receives hate messages for days

It is clear that Lewis Hamilton 's fans were not happy with the course of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Especially the decisions of race director Michael Masi around the safety car were not happy. Many fans decided to send a hate message to Masi, only many of them did so to the wrong person.

Michael Masini has been inundated with all sorts of nasty messages directed at him in recent days from people who think he is Michael Masi, Formula One's race director. "I am happy to say that I am not Michael Masi of Formula 1. Thank God," Masini wrote in a post on his Instagram page.

Hamilton fans believe Hamilton was deprived of the title by wrong decisions made by Masi and the stewards. Nicholas Latifi, whose crash caused the safety car to break down, also received many hate messages on social media. Masini can fortunately still laugh about it. "He [Masi] seems like a great guy, but maybe he made a mistake... I don't know."
