An explosive update is making the world of Formula 1 tremble: Lewis Hamilton has finally revealed burning details regarding an alleged scandal that involves the FIA, after the accident during the Miami Grand Prix. The revelations triggered the chaos within the Motorsport community, raising doubts and controversies on how the F1 government body is managing the most delicate situations, in particular those concerning crucial decisions during the races.
The accident at the Miami Grand Prix has seen a visibly frustrated Hamilton, but now, thanks to a series of statements that are shaking the entire paddock, the seven -time world champion has accused the FIA of having made problematic decisions that, according to him, altered the outcome of the race. In an exclusive interview, Hamilton spoke openly of alleged mistakes in the arbitration that not only would have influenced its result, but could have had a significant impact on the performance of other teams, in particular his Mercedes.
The British specifically criticized the decisions made during the qualifications and during the race, referring to an episode in which it was penalized for a maneuver that according to him did not deserve any sanction. “The rules have not been applied consistently,” said Hamilton, “and this led to an incredible frustration. I cannot accept that the FIA did not consider the fundamental aspects that should have been evaluated during the race.”
This revelation has unleashed a storm on social media and in the circles of Formula 1, with the fans and experts who divided between those who support the accusations of Hamilton and those who, on the other hand, believe that the pilot is trying to justify a disappointing performance. However, Hamilton’s statements have not limited themselves to the tender itself, but also touched the general management of the FIA in recent seasons, suggesting that there could be systemic problems in the organization which, according to him, could compromise justice in competitions.
According to some internal sources, the FIA has already started a review of the decisions made during the Miami Grand Prix. Investigators are examining the calls made by the commissioners and if there have been errors in applying the rules. Another aspect that Hamilton raised concerns the treatment of teams and pilots during the race weekends. In particular, he accused the FIA of not giving sufficient explanations regarding the penalties and sanctions, leaving pilots and teams in uncertainty.
In response to Hamilton’s statements, some members of the FIA have defended the integrity of the decisions taken, claiming that the rules have been applied correctly and that any decision has been made on the basis of regulatory standards. However, these statements did not make the controversy further, with other drivers who have started to publicly express their support for Hamilton, underlining that Formula 1 is going through a period of trusted crisis regarding the authorities who govern the championship.
The chaos that was generated also raised questions about the transparency of FIA decisions. As criticism grows, some argue that Formula 1 needs a radical reform in the management of competitions and sanctions, to prevent similar situations from repeating. Some former drivers and sports analysts have expressed concern about the fact that the growing conflict between pilots and authorities is undermining the credibility of sport.
Miami’s accident, therefore, is not only a single episode, but it seems to be the turning point of a series of controversies and tensions that could have a lasting impact on Formula 1
The future of the FIA and Formula 1 could be questioned if the accusations of Hamilton should prove to be founded. With a season that promises to be even more tense, all eyes are focused on how the FIA will respond to these serious accusations and if there will be changes in competition management policies. In any case, Hamilton has launched an important challenge, trying to bring to light what many see as a growing crisis of trust in the leadership of Formula 1.
