Red Bull's TR call with Marcy has once again detonated the F1 online community!

Red Bull's TR call with Marcy has once again detonated the F1 online community!

A recent "radio call" video during the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (with Chinese character video in the article) once again detonated the F1 Internet community, and the current video has exceeded 3 million views in the international Internet community, and many well-known F1 media personalities have also participated in the discussion, including Will Buxton, the official well-known reporter of F1, Andrew Benson, a senior F1 reporter of the BBC, and the team of well-known F1 commentators of SkySports.

The "radio call" is not new, and the video released by F1 officials on December 16 last year (four days after the end of Abu Dhabi station) also included this call information, but it did not seem to attract everyone's attention at the time, nor did it get widespread. Until recent days, the "radio call" video was once again posted on the Internet by a netizen nicknamed "Jordan", which caused an uproar.

In this "radio call" message, we can hear the conversation between Red Bull Racing Sport Director Jonathan Whitley and F1 Race Director Michael Massi during the 2021 Abu Dhabi Safety Car. Jonathan gave Marcy his advice on how to handle the "lap car" and tried to get Marcy to restart the race with only one lap left.

Whitley said to Marcy, "You don't have to untie the slam car and catch up. You just have to let them go and then we can play again. ”

Marcy replied, "Understand, give me a little time, understand..."

Of course, Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff also made his own suggestions to Markle Massy during this period, begging Marci not to dispatch the safety car (which was in the virtual safety car period at the time), but the track parapet could not meet the safety standards under the impact of Nicholas Latifi's car, so Massey decided to send a safety car and let the construction crew enter the track for repairs.

Eventually, F1 race director Michael Massy took the Red Bull Team's advice.

Subsequently, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff complained to Massey why he was only untying the "sleigh car" between Hamilton and Verstappen, which was wrong.

Marcy replied, "Toto, this is a racing race, okay?"

The FIA said it would use the "radio call" as part of its investigation.

In order to give fans a better understanding of the race, this season F1 officials and the FIA FIA agreed for the first time to broadcast part of the radio call between the team and Michael Massey on television.

Two principals, Mercedes and Red Bull Racing, Toto Wolff and Christian Horner, have repeatedly grabbed the team's sporting director's "microphone" to speak directly to race director Michael Massy and try to influence the control centre's decisions, such as in the final safety car phase of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. In response, F1 general manager Ross Brown suggested that the team leader be banned from contacting the control center directly.

At present, the FIA investigation into the disputed incident at the Abu Dhabi station is still ongoing. The detailed results of the analysis will be published at the F1 Committee meeting in London on 14 February and will finally be made public after approval at the World Motor Sport Council meeting in Bahrain on 18 March.
