Even though the reports have made quite an impact on the F1 world, the reports aren’t made public yet. Hamilton wants the report to be published in public to give a clear view of what happened in Abu Dhabi. Let the fans know what happened at Abu Dhabi and it’ll be all crystal clear, the former McLaren driver believes.

Talking about this, the seven times world champion has conveyed, “I’ve not seen it, I didn’t think it was out yet. But I think I’m excited to see the results from that report. I think hopefully everyone will get to see it and to have perhaps a better understanding of everything.”

And I think ultimately, like everything, it’s down to understanding where we’ve been, so we can move forwards and in a positive light.” the 37-year-old British driver further stated.

The last race of last season has been quite controversial. The sport hasn’t seen anything like this before. Two drivers at identical points just before the last race is a very rare scene. At the end of 21 races, both Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen were at 369.5 points.

Hamilton was on his way to clinch his eighth world title. The Briton was set to break Michael Schumacher’s record of seven World championships. However, things change drastically as Michael Masi, the race director, has made a major decision. Masi called to unlap the lapped cars and take off the safety car. In the end, Lewis’s dream to have eight world titles remained untouched.
