Ferstappen: “FIA can do absolutely nothing”

The FIA ​​are conducting an in-depth investigation into race director Michael Massey’s decisions over the final five rounds of the Middle East race over the Australian mismanagement of the safety vehicle that tipped the title’s outcome in favor of Max Ferstappen and against Lewis Hamilton, who won the fight had dominated until then.

The new champion, who has broken the streak of seven straight Mercedes drivers’ titles, said he has not the slightest concern about the outcome of the investigation and the conclusions it will reach, as he claims the investigation found nothing could change .in the promotion of last year’s champion.

On March 18th, the first day of this year’s inaugural GP in Bahrain, the FIA ​​will announce its research findings and the measures it will take for 2022 to ensure the same phenomenon does not happen again.

Speaking to British newspaper The Guardian, the Dutchman answered a question about the FIA ​​investigation: “Yes, but there is nothing they can do. Nothing at all. I had a very good year and I think I deserved it. I was pretty unlucky too. “People always remember the last game, but if you look at the whole season, the championship should have been decided much earlier.”

At the same time, the Dutchman appeared to have little sympathy for Lewis Hamilton given the disheartening manner in which the Brit lost a career eighth championship record: “It’s hard for me to imagine such a situation because I don’t have seven championships. “If I were a 7-time champion, I would care a lot less than I do now that I’m fighting for my first title,” explained Max.

“Even though I was in charge and in control all along (the league), losing it in the last round would be a lot more painful than having seven championships under my belt already. You’re just looking back at the 7 championships already “You have. It’s not that bad, is it?”closed.
