1996 F1 champion Damon Hill and former F1 driver Martin Brundle comment on the FIA’s investigation into the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix controversy.
The FIA has launched an investigation into the ending of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and the controversial decisions that were made by race director Michael Masi, which allowed Max Verstappen to easily pick up the race win and the world title.
Sky Sports’ Damon Hill says it is important for the FIA to do a good job with the investigation.
“We’ve just got to get it right,” Hill said.
“We can’t have races where people just laugh at us. I’m afraid, sadly, Abu Dhabi was one of those.”

Martin Brundle also added it is important to have an unbiased and transparent investigation.
“What’s really important here for the FIA and for Formula 1 is that this is not swept under the carpet and just left for a few weeks and then overtaken by the new 2022 cars, and the tests, and what have you,” Brundle said.
“We need to understand what happened and why it won’t happen again. We need to reassure the fans that what they are seeing is for real, genuine, and that they are giving up their free time to watch something that is a genuine competition.”
