FIA Promise to Answer 2021 F1 Finale Controversy With Upcoming Abu Dhabi Report

Over two months have passed since the controversial Abu Dhabi GP but it remains to be a hot topic among F1 enthusiasts. The safety car disarray denied Lewis Hamilton his record eighth title, inadvertently helping Max Verstappen win his maiden. This started a protest against the FIA led by the Mercedes team forcing the top body to launch a detailed review into the matter.

Meanwhile, Hamilton took a long break from social media, one that ended only a few days ago. Though the Briton didn’t speak out in the criticism of the race director Masi, his silence spoke volumes. It started when the two Mercedes men, Hamilton and Wolff, decided to boycott the FIA prize-giving gala as a sign of protest in December. Since then, team boss Wolff went all out against the race director, calling out his poor decision-making.

Just like that, an exceptional season with a lot of grit and pace came to a polarizing end. The topmost body is fighting for its prestige and only structural changes can save it. The FIA committee headed by Sulayem is investigating the controversy, and as it stands, there might be some changes in the racing committee, as hinted by Peter Bayer earlier this month.

As per the update last month, FIA announced that they had started the investigation and they will announce the final decisions at the World Motor Sport Council in Bahrain on 18th March. However, there’s another update on the same.

FIA commission sits today to discuss findings of controversial F1 Abu Dhabi GP

When the FIA announced they will release the findings of the Abu Dhabi review ahead of the Bahrain GP, fans didn’t receive it well. For a simple reason because many insiders thought Lewis Hamilton will base his decisions on the review. However, now the scenarios are different as Hamilton is back in the social media glare.

In a recent update from Soymotor.com, the F1 Commission is meeting today in London to discuss the changes recommended by the FIA in the wake of the Abu Dhabi analysis. President Mohammad Ben Sulayem has been working closely on this matter with the active involvement of teams and drivers as well.

The FIA is working to save its prestige and tarnished image among its fans. Major changes might include reorganizing and expanding the race committee. However, details of the findings will only be available on the 18th of March. Tell us the changes you expect to see in the F1 structure in the comments below.
