🏁 A Call for Justice!! FIA PUBLIC CONFIRMATION! FIA and F1 Issue Major Announcement Following Hamilton 2021 Report

In a development that has reignited one of Formula 1’s most controversial chapters, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) and Formula 1 have issued a significant public announcement addressing the conclusions of the highly anticipated internal report on the dramatic events that unfolded at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The decision marks an important moment for fans and stakeholders demanding transparency and justice for what many still see as an historic injustice against seven-time World Champion, Lewis Hamilton.

The 2021 Finale Revisited
The final race of the 2021 season remains etched in the minds of motorsport fans worldwide. A late-race safety car decision and the subsequent last-lap restart allowed Max Verstappen to overtake Hamilton, denying the Mercedes driver what would have been a record-breaking eighth World Championship title. The controversy that followed triggered global debates, petitions, and an unprecedented level of scrutiny directed toward the FIA’s race management.

The FIA’s Announcement: What Was Said?
In its public statement released earlier today, the FIA confirmed that the internal investigation — commissioned to provide clarity and address fans’ concerns — had now been formally concluded. The governing body admitted that “procedural errors and misinterpretations of the sporting regulations contributed to the controversial outcome of the race.” While stopping short of rewriting the championship results, the FIA pledged to implement a series of reforms designed to “protect sporting integrity and ensure consistent application of race regulations.”

These measures include:

Enhanced training and oversight for Race Control officials.

Improved communication protocols between teams and Race Control.

Updates to the Safety Car and restart procedures to remove ambiguities that played a role in the 2021 finale.

Formula 1’s Support and a Renewed Focus on Fairness
Formula 1’s management echoed the FIA’s conclusions, underlining its commitment to ensuring that “the events witnessed in Abu Dhabi 2021 are never repeated.” The statement praised the “resilience and professionalism” shown by all drivers, specifically acknowledging Lewis Hamilton for his conduct both during and after the race. F1 also emphasized its ongoing collaboration with the FIA to create a more transparent and accountable regulatory environment.

A Divided Fanbase but a Clearer Path Forward
For Hamilton’s fans, who have long viewed the 2021 finale as a painful injustice, the FIA’s public acknowledgment feels like a vindication — albeit without the championship reversal they hoped for. Critics argue that while procedural changes are welcome, they do not fully compensate for the impact on the legacy of one of the sport’s greatest drivers.

Yet, for the sport as a whole, today’s announcement represents an important step forward. By openly recognizing past mistakes and pledging concrete reforms, the FIA and F1 have sent a clear message: fairness and consistency must come before spectacle.

The Road Ahead
As the 2025 season continues, all eyes will remain on how these changes are implemented in practice. Hamilton, now competing fiercely for what could still become a record-breaking title, has yet to publicly comment on the FIA’s statement. But for millions of fans, today’s announcement marks more than just an administrative update — it is a call for justice finally answered, and a sign that even the highest levels of motorsport are willing to learn from the past.

Stay tuned as this story continues to unfold, and as Formula 1 races toward a future where sporting fairness is truly guaranteed.
