A fair reflection of VAG management that they should choose the person who managed to intimidate Masi openly on the radio to change the end of a Grand Prix in a way tha had obviously been agreed before hand. Wheatley “you know what to do Micheal” Masi “ yes”. Confirmed by the sacking of Michael Masi. Obviously Audi’s sort of person!
