Hamilton narrowly lost out on last year’s F1 world title to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen after a mishandled Safety Car period at the end of the controversial finale in 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Abu Dhabi. 

It followed a fierce&🐲nbsp;season-long battle and intense development race between Mercedes and Red Bull amid the introduction of a new $145mꦚ spending limit. 

Mercedes’ last major upgrade arrived at the British Grand Prix in July. By contra🃏st, Red Bull continued to bring new parts to their car throughout the remainder of the campaign. 

Red Bull’s spending was initially questioned by rivals last year but has come under further scrutiny amid 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:paddock rumours the team may have breached last year’s cost cap.

Seven-time world champion Hamilton said the outcome of𝓀 last season would have changed if Mercedes had spent♋ an extra "300,000" on additional updates. 

“I remember last year in Silverstone we had our last upgrade and fortunately it was great and we could fight with it,” Hamilton told Sky ahead of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Japanese Grand Prix. 

“But then we would see Red🦹 Bull every weekend or every other weeken🅠d bring in upgrades. They had, I think, at least four more upgrades from that point.

“If we had if we spent 300,000 on a new floor or an adapted wing it w𓃲ould have changed the outcome of the championship, naturally, because we would have been in better competition in the next race you had it 🍸on. 

“So I ho🦄pe that that’s not the case, for the s🐽port.”

FIA transparency ‘imperative’ for F1’s integrity 

It was anticipated that the FIA would reveal on Wednesday whether any team had broken the 2021 financial regulations, but F1’s governing body has now 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:delayed puᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚblishing its findings until Monday. 

Hamilton stressed it is “imperative” for the the sport’s integrity that the FIA is transparent and take💃s a severe stance over any vio🐓lations. 

“I think it's imperative, honestly, justꦅ for transparency,” Hamilton explained. 

“I think we need to continue to have transparency for the fans, for the integrity of the sport. I don't really know enough about it. I🌳 know obviously there's lots of conversations that are going on in the background. No one tꩲruly knows.

“There's different numbers and different things being said here and there, so I was expecting thos﷽e results - like you - to come out yesterday.

“I would ♔like to thin🐓k that if it's been delayed it's because it's been taken very seriously and I trust that Mohamed [Ben Sulayem, FIA president] is taking it seriously and will do what is right for the sport, I hope.

“I think it would be bad for the sport if action wasn't taken if there was a breach, but I don't ♑know if there is so I'll wait just as y💫ou will.”
