In the calm sea that Formula 1 is these weeks; teams and drivers are working to squeeze out the new car regulations that will change many things from now on. However, this also raises the issue that was on hold since the end of the 2021 season. Lewis Hamilton’s ultimatum jeopardizes his future in Formula 1.
Of course, regardless of their decision, the best Indian bookmakers will continue to offer the best markets for motorsport. However, the future of the seven-time champion remains unknown; we believe that it will not be until the end of February that we have a decision.
The BBC, one of the many media close to Lewis Hamilton, published that his continuity solely depends on the investigation that the FIA has undertaken; this on the stewards’ interventions in the final race of 2021; where Verstappen won the title on the last lap of Abu Dhabi.
2021 Championship in Abu Dhabi
Appeals, investigation, and Lewis Hamilton’s ultimatum
Reactions were immediate and the Mercedes team filed a complaint before the stewards about the SC’s decision. The FIA quickly dismissed them, but Toto Wolf’s team had the opportunity to appeal to higher courts. However, the team decided to withdraw its appeal under FIA’s commitment to initiate an investigation of these latest events.
There is no possibility that the FIA will interfere with the outcome of the World Championship. Verstappen will always remain the champion. The BBC reports the alleged pact between the Mercedes team and the FIA; it would result in the dismissal of Michael Masi, the F1 racing director, and Nikolas Tombazis, the head of the FIA technical department.
The FIA announced this investigation a little less than a month ago. It seems that they understood that the reactions in Abu Dhabi were tarnishing the image of Formula 1. In this sense, it indicated that it would publish its conclusions before the start of the 2022 season in March.
Having the conclusions of this investigation, we will also know the fate of Sir Lewis Hamilton’s driving career; who has a contract in force with Mercedes for the current campaign. He is also included as a participant in the 2022 championship along with the signing that replaces Valtteri Bottas, George Russell.
