The FIA is set to present the findings oᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚf its investigation into the handling of the contentious Safety Car period at the 2021 season finale to the teams in a meeting of the F1 Commission on Monday. The proposals will then by rubber-stamped by the FIA World Motor Sport Council on March 18, two days before the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.

Race director Michael Masi failed to implement the rules correctly during the late Safety Car period and his decision-making ultimately altered the outcome of the world championship, enabling Max Verstappen to overtake long-t☂ime race leader Lewis Hamilton in a last-lap shoot-out.  

Seidl wants a detailed and comprehensive outcome from the FIA in Monday’s meeting so💙 that F1 can final🍸ly move on from the controversy of Yas Marina. 

“It is clear what happened in Abu Dhabi was very controversial and was not good for the sport,” Seidl told media including ltxcn.top ahead of McLaren’s launch of its 2022 car. 

“Because of the analysis that is ongoing and this still being an open case, 🍸I don't want to go too much into detail in judging what happened there exactly. 

“It's import❀ant now to wait for Monday, and then, hopefullyᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ, we can close this topic with a good analysis from the FIA, with some good steps of how we can improve for the future.” 

Seidl emphasised that Abu Dhabi was just one of several controver𝐆sial decisions made by the 🐲officials during the 2021 season. 

“If you look at the whole season last year, a lot of 𒆙controversial things happened, which overall were not good for the spoᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚrt,” he added. 

“We need to invest💞 time and energy on the team side, together with the FIA, to make sure we understand what happened throughout the season and see how we can help. 

"By making the regulations less complex, by giving more support to the race director, and by giving more support also to the stewards to avoid these controversies, to avoid also mistakes from happening, by simply🌌 making it easier in terms of policing or the application of rules.” 

And Seid🃏l thinks the FIA needs to put a system in place in order to make it easier to correct such controversies when mistakes h🤡appen in the future. 

“The beauty of the sport, not just on the team side but also the FIA side when it comes to the execution of race☂s, is that it is a human sport,” he explained. 

“So we need to acc🐲ept mistakes can happen on the team side, but also on the FIA side - andඣ mistakes can happen again. 

“For m✤e it is very important that we also discuss that if yo🐷u are in the position that mistakes happen, you actually raise your hand and admit them, and have a mechanism in place in order to correct the consequences of such mistakes, or correct the controversies you could have. 

“That is as important as෴ trying to avoid similar controversies in the first placꦗe.
