Former Haas boss Guenther Steiner believes 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton would be an eight-time F1 world champion had the late Charlie꧅ Whiting still been the FIA’s race dir🦋ector.

Hamilton had been leading the season-ending and title-deciding 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and was on course to claim ﷺa record eighth world championship before then FIA race director Michael Masi incorrectly handled a Safety Car restart to force a final lap shootout.

That opened the door for Red Bull’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen, who had pitted for fresh soft tyres, to dramatically overtake Hamilton, on aged hards, on the last lap to snaꦺtch both the race victory and his maiden drivers’ crown.

In his second book ‘Unfiltered’, which will be released later this month, Steiner described the Abu Dhabi finale as a ꧅“s*** show of biblical proportions”, adding F1 would have avoided co🐎ntroversy had Whiting, who died in 2019, still been alive. 

“Wherever your loyalties lie with that one (and yes, I agree, it was 🌜amazing entertainment), from a regulations 🔯point of view it was a shit show of biblical proportions,” he wrote.

ꦉ“Regardless of what decision Charlie Whiting might have made in Michael Masi’s position, there would have been far less controversy and embarrassment.

“Oh, fok it.ꩲ We all know what Charlie would have done. Had he been at the helm Lewis would now be an eight-time wo⛦rld champion.”

Masi was removed as F1’s race d♍irector after an inquiry by the FIA found “human error” to be responsible for the failure to apply the correct rules in the 2021 title decider.

Earlier this year, Hamilton opened up about the controversy in an interview with GQ Magazine, insi♑sting he is no༒w “at peace” with the outcome.

“Was I rob♓bed? Obviously," Hamilton said. ♔"I mean, you know the story.”

Asked if he still thinks about the race, the 39-year-old Briton said: "If I see a clip of♛ it, I still feel it, but I'm at peace with 💟it."
