But he's so consistent in how he applies the rules. Here he is just over a year ago.
Quote:
As for the Dutchman and Hamilton complaining about the duration of the Safety Car and their tyres losing heat, Masi said Race Control was following the rules.
“There’s a requirement in the sporting regulations to wave all the lapped cars passed,” he said.
“So from that point it was position six onwards that were still running. Between 10, 11 cars had to unlap themselves.
“And therefore the Safety Car period was a bit longer than what we would have normally expected.”

If I'm reading yesterday's protest result correctly it's basically saying that whilst there is a requirement in the regulations to let them all pass the race director can do whatever the fata he wants and trumps all regulations.
