MELBOURNE (Reuters) - The feeling may not be mutual but former Formula One racing director Michael Masi is open to meeting with Mercedes more than a year after losing his job over the controversial 2021 title-decider in Abu Dhabi.

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton missed what would have been a record eighth title after Masi changed the safety car procedures late in the race at Yas Marina, a move that helped Red Bull's Max Verstappen win and take his first championship.
