Masi fixing the race result is exactly what happened. Whether or not his motive was purely based on a desire for Max to win or providing an exciting finish is up for debate, but he definitely chose to assist Redbull have a massive advantage over Mercedes.

I'd like to see that evidence (not result), and this is serious allegation. More serious than Singapore 2008.
Both teams were given the same opportunity to pit under SC. Merc didn't and RBR did. Mercedes "assumed/predicted" the race would end under SC.
Then why Merc should enjoy the benefit of lapped cars protecting Hamilton. If not letting them unlap themselves, would that be assisting Mercedes by not applying the rules?
(Note that I must admit FIA's cock up by announcing lapped cars won't unlap themselves initially, then reverse the decision later. Myself has a F*** You Michael Masi thought as well)
Then why there are rules stating "any" lapped cars (does that mean all lapped cars or just some be determined by Race Director) allowed up unlap themselves.
Then we figured the Race Director has the ultimate authority to deploy and call back the SC. And there were overriding rules that "safety car in this lap" above all else.
Michael Masi did mentioned earlier in the season that himself and the teams would prefer to finish the race in green flag condition. Should the track deemed safe.
While Michael Masi is the biggest culprit and cockups. I'd be careful calling him corrupted and race fixing unless there's hard evidence.
Let's say the five backmarkets were stuck between HAM and VER, and the race resumes. Is Masi still corrupted and fixing the race in favor to another camp?
This argument will go on for quite a while. Nonetheless, FIA got a hot potato on their hands and lots of SH*T to clean up.
