“The FIA President led detailed discussions of the 2021 FIA Formula 1 Abu Dhabi GP. Feedback from the Commission on matters raised will be incorporated into the president’s analysis and he will publicly present news of structural changes and action plan in the coming days,” read the statement made by FIA.
It would be interesting to hear the Mercedes team principal’s views on this statement. The Austrian had been pushing hard to get a solution to the controversial situation that occurred in Abu Dhabi.
He even challenged the last two laps at the end of the race to get more clarity on the issue. Let’s hope that the FIA and the F1 teams reach a mutual decision on the subject.
