Formula One's managing director Ross Brawn has defended race director Michael Masi after criticism of the Australian's handling of last Sunday's chaotic Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

Masi has taken flak from both sides as Mercedes' seven times world champion Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull's Max Verstappen fight for the title, with the pair tied on points ahead of Sunday's final winner-takes-all showdown in Abu Dhabi.

In Jeddah, a twice-halted race won by Hamilton, Masi offered Red Bull the opportunity to drop Verstappen from first to third on the grid at the restart and avoid being referred to the stewards with the risk of a penalty.Red Bull team boss Christian Horner told reporters afterwards it was unusual and sounded"a bit like being down the souk .""Some people seem to think Michael was doing a deal. He wasn't doing a deal," he said.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has also clashed with Masi, speaking of"laughable" decisions at last month's Sao Paulo Grand Prix when stewards took no action against Verstappen for a move that forced Hamilton off.
