It would be nice to hear the reasons behind the changes in full why they felt this was the way forward
I'm not sure I agree with your reading of this:Instead of banning the teams from lobbying the race director they're going to ban us hearing the teams lobbying the race director. Its directly implied that it was the viewers fault that Masi screwed it all up.
as nice as it sounds, when have F1 ever listened to the fansI'll bet you dollars to donuts that theSaudisNew FIA President used all oftheirhis massive cyber-warfare capabilities to scour the internet, socials and forums (I'd ask Brogan if the site traffic increased from the last GP) to find a consensus amongst the actual fans, then focus group the best outcome, et voila Masi is "re-assigned" Lewis is happy, all of this can be swept under the rug.
I'll get my tinfoil hat and see myself out, thank you very much.
Fine if it's as you suggest but I read that as they will stop broadcasting the Comms but still allow communications with the race director.I'm not sure I agree with your reading of this:

It's not the broadcast on TV element that's being removed, but the direct radio communications. The suggestion is to have an alternative route to asking questions of the race director... (Send me an e-mail).
I have suggestion forward your question directly to SkySports when Christian Horner is on and ask him " Can you still talk to the race director directly when there is a safety car situation ?"Fine if it's as you suggest but I read that as they will stop broadcasting the Comms but still allow communications with the race director.
Christian Horner is never off Sky Sports. He's commentated on more bloody races than Murray Walker.I have suggestion forward your question directly to SkySports when Christian Horner is on and ask him " Can you still talk to the race director directly when there is a safety car situation ?"
I'm not sure, what did the official inquiry into the events of the race say about his conduct?Masi did nothing wrong, correctly applied the rules, and Verstappen legitimately won the race.
Masi has been sacked, presumably for something other than what happened at Abu Dhabi, otherwise the first sentence is invalid.
It's the second part of the sentence sentence that gives the context here - that they will be removed "to protect the race director from any pressure" - the tv broadcasting doesn't create the pressure... Horner and Wolff badgering him for the entire race creates the pressure.Fine if it's as you suggest but I read that as they will stop broadcasting the Comms but still allow communications with the race director.
