The FIA's investigation into the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will produce results in February will Hamilton wait?

The RESULTS of the FIA survey into the safety car phase of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be made public by 3 February at the latest.

The FIA has another 3 weeks to conduct a detailed analysis and make possible changes to the relevant rules.

A formal investigation was launched on Monday and there are plans to speak with all parties involved in the incident, including race director Massy, commissioners, drivers and team representatives.

According to British media, the overall person in charge of the investigation is Peter Bayer, secretary general of the FIA motor sport, and chairman Surayem will also participate.

The FIA investigation will clarify the situation

Three days after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the FIA publicly stated that it would conduct the analysis and investigation "comprehensively, objectively and transparently". After the statement was issued, Mercedes dropped the appeal.

Mercedes protested twice after the race, both of which were dismissed, and the team subsequently said it would appeal. Wolff also said in the interview that he hoped the FIA would fulfill its commitments.

"I hope that the committee will not only give results, but also show action, and we will evaluate their actions."

Hamilton's return is still pending

Hamilton, after losing to Verstappen, gave only a brief interview before the award ceremony on the spot, congratulating Verstappen. After that, Hamilton's social media was all halted.

Hamilton's only assessment of the race was the final lap of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, when he told Engineer Bonington at the last turn: "The race is being manipulated!" ”。

Many have speculated that Hamilton's return depends largely on the FIA's findings. Wolff also did not make it clear when Hamilton would choose to return.

"I very much want Lewis to keep racing because he's the best driver in history. What he had in mind as a driver was that I had to keep going because he was at the peak of his ability. But we have to help him out of the pain, he's a black and white man. ”

If Hamilton is really just waiting for a result, if it's just to put pressure on the FIA to let Marcy go, is the pattern for Mercedes and Hamilton smaller? Can substitutions soothe their wounded hearts?
