Think it’s a combination of a couple of things.
There’s a kind of general understanding that while Massi ‘could’ have made the decisions, does not mean he should have made those decisions and that had a clear and direct outcome on the world championship. Think he’s slightly ‘paranoid’ about that.
Then there’s the guidance given to drivers, which in many ways seems designed (correctly IMO as I don’t regard a lot of what he does as racing) to ‘minimise’ any advantage he gets from his driving manner.
And finally I’ve always thought that leclerc would ‘grate’ against him more than Lewis would. All that is just rambling thoughts, no basis to it at all 😀
