Former world champion Nico Rosberg commented on the fiasco in the last round between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The German said the FIA must take steps to ensure that there is no ambiguity about the regulations and that all doubts about the regulation must be dispelled.
Max Verstappen narrowly beat Lewis Hamilton on the final lap of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after a late safety car restart turned the British’s chances around. The race management initially decided that cars lapped by the safety car should not be allowed to overtake, but in the end they changed their mind. This enabled Verstappen to catch up with Hamilton and overtake him on Turn 5 on the last lap of the race.
Commenting on the incident, Nico Rosberg said the FIA needs to improve in winter and avoid such ambiguities in the future. He said:
“Of course Formula 1 is a difficult situation because they fight and do everything to the limit and the FIA now has to calibrate and adapt. You have to do a good job in winter to improve and make everything more square because we have to avoid situations of doubt. ”
Rosberg claimed Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes were 99% sure they would win the World Cup, calling the FIA decision “strange”. He said:
“They were 99% sure that they would win the World Cup until there were three rounds to go. After losing it and losing it in a fight like this where there was nothing I could do because the tires had 50 laps it was an incredible pain. It’s a shame that the FIA came to a somewhat strange decision. “
Nico Rosberg retired from the sport in 2016 immediately after winning his first world title.
Lewis Hamilton is said to have felt “disillusioned” after the controversial loss of the championship
Lewis Hamilton has disappeared from the public eye after losing to Max Verstappen at the end of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The seven-time world champion was apparently “disaffected” by the events at the end of the race, according to Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff. The Austrian executive told the media:
“Lewis Hamilton and I are disaffected at the moment. I really hope that both of us and the rest of the team can work through the events with the FIA together with the F1 to improve the sport in the future. But we will never overcome the pain, the hardship on Sunday. ”
