F1 needs to ‘close the topic’ of Abu Dhabi in crunch meeting - Seidl

The FIA is set to present the findings of its investigation into the handling of the contentious Safety Car period at the 2021 season finale to the teams in a meeting of the F1 Commis🍨sion on Monday.💧 The proposals will then by rubber-stamped by the FIA World Motor Sport Council on March 18, two days before the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
Race director Michael Masi failed to implement the rules correctly during the late Safety Car period and his decision-making ultimately altered the outcome of the worꦯld championship, enabling Max Verstappen to overtake long-time race leader Lewis Hamilton in a last-lap shoot-out.
Seidl wants a detailed and comprehensive outcome from the FIA in Monday’s meeting so that𝓰 F1 can finally move on from the controversy of Yas Marina.
“It is clear what happened in Abu Dhabi was very controversial and was not good for the sport,” Seidl told media including wuqian0821.com ahead of McLaren’s launch of its 2022 car.
“Because of the analysis that is ongoing and this still being an open case, I don't w𝔉ant to go too much into detail in judging what happened there exactly.
“It's important n♋ow to wait for Monday, and then, hopefully, we can close this topic with a good analysis from the FIA, with some good steps of how we can improve for tꦆhe future.”
Seidl emphasised that Abu Dhabi was just one of several controversial decisions 🙈made by the officials during the 2021 season.

“If you look at the whole season last year, a lot of controversial things happened, whic🗹h overall were not good for the sport,” he added.
“We need to inves🎃t time and energy on the team side, together with the FIA, to make sure we understand what happened throughout the season and see how we can h🌠elp.
"By making the regulations less complex, by giving more support to the race director, and by giving more support also to the stewards to avoid these controversies, to avoid also mistakes from happening, by simply making it easier in terms of policing or t🔥he application of rules.”
And Seidl thinks the FIA needs to put a system inꦯ place in order to make it easier to co♒rrect such controversies when mistakes happen in the future.
“The beauty of ꦑthe sport, not just on the team side but also the FIA side when it comes to the execution of races, is t🅰hat it is a human sport,” he explained.
“So we need to accept mistakes can happen on the team side,🧸 but also on the FIA side - and miℱstakes can happen again.
“For me it is very important that we also discuss that if you are in the position that mistakes happen, y✱ou actually raise your hand and admit them, and have a mechanism in place in order to correct the consequences of 🅺such mistakes, or correct the controversies you could have.
“That is as important as 🃏trying to 𓂃avoid similar controversies in the first place.
