Ex-F1 race director Masi reveals death threats, 'vile' abuse

SYDNEY: Axed Formula One race director Michael Masi Sunday revealed he was bombarded with 'vile' abuse and death threats after his stunning call that cost Lewis Hamilton an eighth world title.

The 44-year-old was removed from the high-profile job over his management of the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix last year and quit the sport's governing body FIA this month to return home to Australia.
