Finishing under the safety car would have been the best option that was consistent with the race at the time, because Max was not gaining on Lewis before Latifi crashed. If Max had been storming through the field, hunting Lewis down, I could see the argument for giving him a chance to catch Lewis. But that's not the case. Masi didn't give Lewis a chance to defend himself. By his odd, inconsistent decision, he all but guaranteed a Max win, or a crash(which would be a Max win). The idea that Lewis and Merc had any options at all strategically is nonsense. Masi decided the outcome, not Max or Lewis. And that's what fans are frustrated by. But keep grinding that axe, you'll come up with a logical position one day.
