What happened led to widespread fallout, with Mercedes protesting the decision after th𝕴e race.

Nothing came of🐽 it with Mercedes withdrawing their appeal a꧃nd Verstappen securing his first world title.

Todt, who wa🍃s FIA president at the time, refused to interfere, ꧒leaving it down to the stewards to make a decision.

Todt said earlier this year: "I didn't do anyt♐hing, it's not the role of the president of the FIA.

“Referees must be autonomous. Have you ever heard [FIFA president Gianni] Infanti﷽no say ‘Here there 🧸was a penalty, and here there was not’.

“In the docume🐻ntary [‘The Method’ on French TV] you can see that I'm watching that race in the country house with the crew.&n💛bsp;

“Horner and Wolf♛f call me and to t𝓡hem I reply: ‘I can't interfere, it's the responsibility of the stewards and the race director.’”

While Wolff is now “at peace” with what happened, he wishes Todt interven♏ed.

"For us it was a catastrophic set of circumstances, but it was the making of one man - there is no big conspiracy theory behind it," Wolff told ESPN

"Would 🐓I have wished that Jean Todt got🌺 involved rather than being filming for his documentary? Yes. At least to tell the stewards to look at it the right way.

"But would it have made a difference? I don't know. It was the making of one man, this was a championship bet𓆉ween two drivers and two teams, both had merited to win and on the day the outcome was different because one guy just lost the plot.

"But I am at peace with it now."
