Within the round-up: Former Haas staff principal Guenther Steiner says late System 1 director Charlie Whiting, who died in 2019, wouldn’t have prevented the controversial finish to the 2021 world championship.
Briefly
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 in control of 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 a great state of affairs,” 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 Automobile restart, during which Lewis Hamilton misplaced the world championship to Max Verstappen.
“Wherever your loyalties lie with that one (and sure, I agree, it was wonderful leisure), from a rules viewpoint it was a shit present of biblical proportions, and no matter what resolution Charlie Whiting may 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 finished. Had he been on the helm Lewis would now be an eight-time world champion.”
