The Abu Dhabi GP was one of the most controversial races we have seen in recent history. The season finale was a thriller that kept giving one twist after another through the course of the race. The last moments witnessed some highly controversial decisions from the race committee. An exceptional season with a lot of grit and pace came to a polarizing end, and the dust doesn’t seem like settling anytime soon.

The F1 community has widely scrutinized the role of race director Masi. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff shunned all the channels of communication with the Aussie after the race, and many even wanted him gone. After a huge backlash, the FIA finally announced that they will launch an official review into the matter headed by incoming president Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

However, another update on this matter came recently, and fans are not taking it very well. The FIA announced from its official handle that the administration has started the analysis and they will announce the final decisions at the World Motor Sport Council in Bahrain on 18th March.

With speculations around Lewis Hamilton’s return, many were basing it on the outcome of FIA’s report. However, this delay in the final decision has invited a lot of criticism among the fans, many even think it’s just a token move from the highest authority. As it stands, Hamilton’s decision to bow out of his seat or to stay cannot be based on the report as it will come right before the 2022 inaugural GP.
