Formula 1 fans have said that they want Michael Masi back. They’re sick and tired of the new rules, new safety, and new race directors. They want a motor race, and they don’t care how they get it. So, they turn to their patron saint of motor-race-enablement for salvation.
“Bring Michael Masi back!” Yelled one inebriated, loud, fan who asked to remain anonymous. The man was wearing what looked like a printed-at-home Nico Rosberg t-shirt. “That fucker knew how to put on a RACE! Italian, wasn’t he? Those cunts knew how to create spectacle, have you SEEN the Colosseum?”
Former sim racer turned racing driver James Alan Broadbent had this to say in 2021.

He has since changed his stance and now wants Michael Masi back in the driver’s seat.

The fans have been raging incessantly online about how badly 2026 Silverstone’s race ended - under a safety car. “This is a problem with governing bodies in Europe.” Said an older lady wearing a Lewis Hamilton Mercedes era t-shirt. “They’ve defanged this sport so much that we can’t even escape for a weekend. Now I must go back to my flat, devoid of air-conditioning, and literally stew in it.”
A fan from Japan who had travelled all the way to Silverstone for this disappointment made a wise observation comparing Abu Dhabi 2021 with this race: “This season, Max was Latifi, George was Max, Lewis was Lewis, and no one cared about Charles. All that was missing was Michael Masi telling Bernd to get out of the way.”
If the motorsports world ever needed more of an indication that they needed a saviour, then the British GP would be the one. Our intrepid reporter, Hamlet Sparco, had managed to track down Michael in his residence in Australia. He said that Michael had greeted him cheerfully:
“Who are you and what are you doing in my house?!” Masi had asked him. “Fuck off, mate, or I’m calling the cops.”
All we know is that the world needs Michael Masi now.
