Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing, says he disagrees with the view that the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was evidence of F1’s “corruption.”
The 2022 F1 season is just around the corner, but F1 has yet to shake off the impact of the end of the final round of the 2021 title deciding match, the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
It is true that the controversial safety car handling by F1 race director Michael Masi directly contributed to Max Verstappen’s passing Lewis Hamilton on the final lap, and the FIA (International Automobile Federation) was in F1. We are investigating what happened at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff said it’s still unclear if Lewis Hamilton, who has been silent since then, will continue in F1 in 2022, but the team may not get over what happened. ing.
Michael Masi cleared the lap-delayed machine between second-placed Max Verstappen and leader Lewis Hamilton before resuming the race on the final lap. At that point, Verstappen had pitted in and replaced it with new tires, so Hamilton had no choice.
Lewis Hamilton said the results were “manipulated” on a team radio to Mercedes F1. This is an opinion shared by some F1 fans.
But Zak Brown disagrees with the alleged misconduct.
“I don’t think it was a malicious decision. I disagree with those who think the sport is corrupt,” Zak Brown told Motorsport-Total.com.
“Maybe we made another decision? Probably yes, but I want to wait for what the FIA says.”
Regarding the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Zak Brown stated that “the FIA must explain what happened, how it happened, and why it happened,” but things changed when the 2022 season began. I believe that.
“As with all controversies in sports, wounds begin to heal as soon as the next season begins,” Zak Brown said in comparison to other sports “may or may not be right” rulings. In reality, it would be “a thing of the past without forgetting”.
