Within the round-up: Former Haas crew principal Guenther Steiner says late Method 1 director Charlie Whiting, who died in 2019, wouldn’t have prevented the controversial finish to the 2021 world championship.
In short
Whiting wouldn’t have allowed 2021 finale ‘s*** present’
Steiner, who was censured for criticising the FIA stewards on a number of events throughout his time answerable for Haas, claims that after Whiting died on the eve of the 2019 season the game’s governing physique “have ceased being culpable for his or her errors and have misplaced their humility.”
“That isn’t scenario,” Steiner added in his new ebook, ‘Unfiltered’.
He mentioned one instance of this was the controversial 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the place race director Michael Masi broke F1’s guidelines by arranging a late Security Automotive restart, by which Lewis Hamilton misplaced the world championship to Max Verstappen.
“Wherever your loyalties lie with that one (and sure, I agree, it was superb leisure), from a rules perspective it was a shit present of biblical proportions, and no matter what choice Charlie Whiting might need made in Michael Masi’s place there would have been far much less controversy and embarrassment,” Steiner wrote.
“Oh, fok it. Everyone knows what Charlie would have performed. Had he been on the helm Lewis would now be an eight-time world champion.”
