Hamilton was on course to win his eighth world title to move one clear of168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Michael Schumacher.

That was until 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nicolas Latifi c𝔍rashed in the closing laps, resulting in a Safety 🐟Car.

Verstappen decided to pit for fresh rubꦏber, while Hamilton stayed out on his𒁏 worn hard tyres.

🍌It looked like the race would finಌish behind the Safety Car due to there being a number of lapped cars between the two title contenders.

However, Michael Masi - who was FIA race director at the time - decided to all🌄ow a number of cars to unlap the🐬mselves.

This gave Verstappen a free run a꧂t▨ Hamilton when the race restarted on Lap 58 in Abu Dhabi.

The point of contention is that Masi should have allowed all of the cars to unlap themselves, not just the seꦺlect few between Hamilton and Verstap🍰pen.

Plus, Masi was under pressure from Red Bull and others to get the race back underway given that a title finale finishing behind a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Safety Car is somewhat dull.

Verstappen secured his maiden F1 title in controversial circumstances, while Hamilton was left he🦋artbroken, proclaiming over team radio: “This race is being manipulated”.

Mercedes prot﷽ested the ♈result after the race, but the stewards stood by how it was handled.

Verstappen remained champion🐲, although the drama didn’t stop there, with fans sti💃ll in uproar with what happened on that day in December.

It’s fair to say nothing will happen asꦯ a result of this petition.
