(Reuters) - 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.
