Asked about Horner’s suggestion that the team was given no message about the Perez incident, Masi said: “No, that's incorrect. They didn't ask race control.
“I suggested to them that they may want to look at giving the position back, and they said they were looking at it themselves."
The Perez incident came a day after he had been investigated for delaying handing back a place to Lance Stroll in the sprint race, which dropped the Aston Martin driver out of the DRS train.
