FIA race control staff are permanent...a bit of a failure in succession planning relying so heavily on Charlie Whiting and Herbie Blash for so many years. I think Masi is fine, and I love hearing the radio, but it definitely undermines him. Plenty of stupidity happened under the old regime, too.

The lack of transparency and inconsistency/rule ambiguity has been an issue forever.
You find it hard to get fussed that a 2 lap race 'completed' entirely under yellow is the win that separates these two?
If, and I hope it won't, but if that win determines the championship it is a travesty in order of magnitude worse than than any questionable time penalties, grid drops or controversial crashes.
Fortunately the only realistic way this potentially impacts is double DNF, and here's to that not happening.
