In “Ted’s Notebook” show, after the 2022 U.S. Grand Prix in Austin, Ted Kravitz stated Lewis Hamilton was “robbed” of the 2021 title. Red Bull, who had already sealed their bet on both titles, took offense and decided to boycott the entire crew. However, the boycott, which was soon called off, now stands on the verge of happening again. As the Sky commentator has now aired his disgust towards the executioner of Max Verstappen’s 2021 title, Michael Masi.
In 2021, the golden boys of their respective teams reached the Yas Marina Circuit, not knowing that the title decider would go down in the history as an FIA-admitted “human error” was made by Michael Masi but still Verstappen remained a world champion and not many could accord fair play to the situation.

However, Red Bull has always maintained that Max Verstappen was deserving of the title he received. And with the F1 circus currently in Australia, Michael Masi, who himself is an Australian, decided to show up in the paddock. And while Hamilton is unperturbed by his presence, the Sky Pundit doesn’t sound very pleased by it.
And while the man held back his words about Hamilton being robbed of his 2021 title, he was a verbal testament of his annoyance.
Fans hail Ted Kravitz as he does the unthinkable to anger Max Verstappen and co.
“What’s he doing in Australia?” asked Kravitz and then went on to explain the real reason behind the ousted race director’s presence in Albert Park during an F1 race weekend, and that is Supercars. Michale Masi is now the Independent Chair of the Supercars Commission. However, still in disbelief, the Sky commentator couldn’t hide his disappointment seeing the man back.
He asked, “But what is he doing coming back to the Formula 1 paddock?” and while highlighting the rumor mill that has taken a life of its own seeing Masi back in the paddock, he again asked, “What is Michael Masi doing in the paddock?”
And seeing the Red Bull protest couldn’t keep the man from calling out the gross violation that occurred in 2021, F1 Twitter is overjoyed.
RedBull protest incoming again
