I thought your show with the guys from Lakeland was good but I don’t think you have ever worked in a really high pressure environment. Here are two things you should bear in mind about that decision and Masi. 1 A storyline that had a new world champion fighting an old world champion next year would bring even more attention to F1 than one whereA young racer who had just failed to win the championship was trying again. Masi was most probably put under great pressure from liberty.More than the team bosses. 2.Whatever Masi intended or thought does not matter. He was hired to do a job that has to be done under great pressure.He simply couldn’t handle it. He is the wrong man for the job.He has to be replaced. I once was in the ballroom kitchen of the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York great hotel, famous. There was a sign over the doorway leading from the kitchen to the ball room itself. “If you can’t maintain your standards under pressure you have no standards.”
