As the FIA\u2019s Race Director and Safety Delegate, Michael Masi\u2019s job is to run F1 races \u2013 to keep an eye on everything that happens on track, and plenty of stuff off it too \u2013 including running driver briefings and dealing with protests. On this week\u2019s show the Australian gives TC the inside line on one of the most interesting and pressurized roles in F1, discussing \u2013 amongst other things \u2013 his interpretation of the \u2018let them race\u2019 philosophy, his re-introduction of the black and white \u2018warning\u2019 flag, and what it\u2019s like trying to fill the boots of his late mentor Charlie Whiting.
