Or the entire season and races should be looked into. You can’t just overturn a single race that favors the outcome you look for. You need to overturn and look into every single race and potential penalties that need to be applied. Both max and Lewis got away with lots of potential penalties that season. This is the reason I think Merc pulled their lawsuit as that was a possibility to see if any more wrong doing was done that season. That would also mean Lewis first title should also be overturned and proof of manipulation of a race.
I was so angry at the way the FIA officials cheated Lewis of getting his 8th world title. What it did for me was for me to lose interest in F1 so I haven’t watch it since. If the races are fixed then it’s not worth watching Had they offered Hamilton new tyres, then if Verstappen had won, I would have been happy but the FIA officials fixed it so Hamilton was bound to lose.. Massi appears corrupt and he damaged F1 integrity.
Yeah let's forget how Mercedes didn't pit Hamilton when they should've. Also the F1 rulebook states "The race director can override the standard safety car procedure if they deem it neccessary" What Masi did was definitely wrong but it wasn't cheating he did it for sake of entertainment. Only mistake Masi made was not letting the cars unlap themselves sooner
Please! I am absolutely a Hamilton fan and do not particularly like Verstappen, but when a season is that close you can point to a dozen mistakes by teams and officials that occured over the season. An early point counts as much as a late point.. For instance, in a late season race (I believe it was Baku), the tires were defective. A couple of drivers shredded their tires before Verstappen shredded his while in the lead on a late lap. Hamilton was uncontested at the front in a restart. All he had to do was finish there and he would have had enough points to make the Abu Dhabi race immaterial. On the restart, Hamilton failed to turn off the clutch used only for a standing start. As a result, he had so much understeer that he went right into the runoff lane and scored no points. Earlier in the Abu Dhabi race, Hamilton went off the track and gained a position. By rule he should have had to give it back, but it was ruled that he was forced off. That is a judgement call - not quite the same as an incorrectly applied rule, but the decision was controversial. Honestly, I don't remember if it was the other way around and Verstappen was forced after a couple of laps to give back the position. I do remember that Hamilton was the beneficiary. Hamilton accepted the race result. I have never heard him bitch about that result and he will when he thinks he is right or was treated unfairly. GP racing is so technical and so subject to judgement that there are questionable calls in virtually every race. One hopes they even out. Maybe the appeal procedures need to be more powerful, but can you honestly say that there wasn't 1 mistake by the race direct or stewards during the season that favored Hamilton. It happens in every sport. In fact that is part of the reason that sport is so interesting and people argue over results (like this) years later. This didn't even require a recap. It was clear at the time that the race director blew it. But, it was not an appealable event. This recap missed the most important part. Hamilton was past the pits when the safety car came out. Max was able to duck into the pits, but Hamilton couldn't. What was really controversial was that the race should probably have finished under the safety car, but the decision was made not to end the season that way.
They can't stop LH destiny. Werstoppen will never enjoy that win....he will always know that he happily received stolen goods....and I have no issues with his talent. And everybody who collided in this robbery will have to seek forgiveness.

@@Delver639 he didn't. The rulebook states "the race director can override the safety car procedure if they deem it necessary" which he did for entrainment which is messed up but it wasn't cheating
You left out a lot of important facts. Massi made three controversial decisions. Each one right after Hamilton went by the pit lane off road. It was a total sham and the last three laps of that race should have been redone with the correct rules and line up.
Commentators influence the stewards the race director, and teams. Next race watch out for croft and brundel giving suggestions that influence what teams do. ABU DHABI 2021 IS PRIME EXAMPLE OF THIS THE WORST AND NOT THE ONLY
Corruption…Corruption…Corruption… all those guilty of this crime will have to live with it…every time they go into the public, they won’t know what to expect… always looking over their shoulders..
Max is still only a one-time champion to me: 2021 Spa and Abu Dhabi, and in 2022 Red Bull developed their car as if there wasn't a budget cap; should've been DQ'd.
@@lorddrac_dontaskmetodance Yes, I wonder if there was a back room deal between Red Bull and Massi, Max was allowed to break the rules too often in 2021 then given the final race on a plate.
If you had integrity you would also look into the over 36 track limits merc was allowed to do until RB started and was radioed to stop. Anyone with integrity would want the entire season to be looked into and not just the last race.
My son and I were big F1 fans When Hamilton got robbed my son said that he has lost total interest in F1 has not watched a race since.. Have to say my interest has wanned too.. Maybe formula one officials realise the damage that was done that day and that maybe this is the reason that there a lot of British drivers on the grid today.. They probably had to persuade Hamilton not to quit the sport..Hopefully justice will prevail with Ferrari..
@@RIDE_26 Where have you been all this time? The problem is precisely that Masi let the half dozen cars between Hamilton and Verstappen go ahead, thus completely wiping out the 10 second advantage Hamilton had over Verstappen prior to the Latifi crash that stopped the race.
That's like playing Street Fighter you having 30% health and I have 90% health and my game freezes . Then you beat me until my health 30%, whilst filling up your ultimate attack gauge then my game un freezes, who's gonna win???
It all started with Latifi intentionally crashing his car. If he had not cooperated, this would not have happened. Or, maybe his life would have been put at stake if he hadn't. Anyway, Latifi should be court marshalled for his role in bringing this about.
The backup was Redbull under fuelling Perez, so Perez could park on track to bring the SC out. Because Latifi did his job, they then retired Perez while in the SC train. Because he had no fuel left.
Rules in sports cannot be changed by a director. It's like saysing a football referee can change football rules during a match. In this instance the FIA was a toothless lion, scared to fight failings in the sport. They sacked the director but left the action or consequences of his action unchanged deriving the real winner the victory. Mercedes should have fought the verdict and I wonder why they did not.
The whole incident was suspect, including Latifi's crash.His race engineer was heard saying "it has to be this lap" on the lap he crashed. Why did he actually crash? There seemed to be no reason for it and no explanation as such. Why weren't the rules followed to the letter? Surely the rule book was written to keep things like this from happening. Lewis was well in front of Max, and with 5 cars between them, there was no way on earth Max was going to win, even his father gave up watching and left the Red Bull garage. I feel that the FIA conspired to rid the sport of Sir Lewis Hamilton, by making him feel so aggrieved by their decision that he would lose the will to race. But against all odds, still he rises.
Brilliant recap, except you omitted that since the rules (as always implemented upto then) required all lapped cars to unlap themselves and the race to only restart until they where at the back on the same lap as the leaders. As there were insufficient laps left to achieve that Hamilton had effectively won the race and his team chose not to pit him.
It finish F1 as a fair sport --- F1 is now just a show. It also advertised the fact that the FIA and the Race Director had no interest in who finished in the lower point scoring positions; the fix was to benefit Max and Red Bull only, everybody else lost.
This is BullShit.... Left half untold.... Lulu cut the corner in begining gaining position AND taking a HUGE lead NOT giving BACK to Verstappen then toward the end of the race in the last laps cars were NOT allowed to pass for many laps then only a few relavent were eventually let pass at the discression of the RD Masi... so PERFECTLY LEGAL... TOTO made the mistake not changing lewis tires.... Mercedes is the MAIN reason lewis lost....
Why do they keep calling this robbery a "controversy" the rules are clear and there's no question Mercedes & Sir Lewis were the victims of an illicit plot. And so called Race Director Michael Massi is complicit in said controversy/plot. Shout out to RUclipsr #F1XED who has gone above and beyond to make all the FIA rules & regulations crystal clear in 2021's Abu Dhabi's charade. I invite all to go to his channel to see how it should have been handled. This will be the last I'll weigh in on this topic.
I started my love with F1 at the start of 1959. The 2021 season was made a total mess by the organizers. Abu Dhabi was a monumental disgrace. I haven't watched an F1 race since... nor followed F1 in the media...! I only watched this video because of the clickbait title.
Massi brought F1 into disrepute and the FIA had to make him disappear. For real F1 fans, Sir Lewis won that race and he gained much admiration for not crashing into Verstappen. Verstappen is the real victim as this will haunt him for the rest of his life.
Thank you for your excellent recap and re-opening of old wounds that definitely signalled that Michael Massi was just the pawn in this situation. I’m sure there were a few above him that didn’t want Lewis to be known as the GOAT. We all know who was the real winner. However I was hoping that you were going to shed new light onto this but alas I was disappointed.
I've said it once and I'll say it again. Never in any World Sport have the rules and regulations been manipulated so much to favour one compeditor over another, and all done while the sporting world watched. Everyone knows who the true winner of that race was and it wasn't RB or MV, you have to win a race fairly and squarely, not be gifted it. James Vowles nailed it in one of his interviews when he said, "you have to win it fairly, if you win it and muddy the waters you will never gain the respect and you'll forever be tainted. Masi was a fool that day, he paid the price and deserved his sacking, most of Sky Sports and Channel 4's F1 pundits lost my respect and will never gain it back by praising MV and his so called "win", the "Yes Men" they know who they are.
It was NOT the first time Masi had influenced a race by making up the rules on the fly. He did it at Monza 2019 ensuring a win for LeClerc and Masi's former team Ferrari. Nobody challenged him so he was emboldened to try it again. The truth is that if Charlie had lived, Hamilton would be an 8th times champion. Mercedes won the title that was important to them so Toto didn't bother to fight for the injustice as he said he would in the aftermath. It was a decision that could never stand up in a court of law.
Every single previous F1 races released all lapped cars to pass before recommencing the race, everyone regarded this as the rule not to be misinterpreted to gain an advantage. F1 did not want Hamilton to surpass Michael Schumacher, and this was their chance not realising the consequences or that anyone would or could contest the result. Once Hamilton retires, he’ll be able to contest the result in court and have the trophy and championship reinstated along with monetary compensation for lost advertisement revenue.
There is no need to watch this video.. No new information is provided.. it is just regurgitating information that we already knew from 2 years ago... unnecessarily, I might add.
What exactly is the point of your title you dont come down on either side, why not just say it as it is Lewis was cheated out of the title & all those complicit in this should be banned from taking part in F1 that's what happens to drug takers in other sports, get of the fence
Lewis was robbed! The race should have ended under a yellow flag. Mr Masi did NOT follow the rules correctly regarding restarts after a safety car period. The FIA should have overturned the result. The fact they didn't is one of the reasons I no longer watch F1. In its current form F1 is corrupt. The rules allow more than 20 cars on the grid, but the teams refuse to allow new teams to join! That is just fucking nuts!
I used to watch the F1 red religiously being based in the UK I always made arrangements to go to the British Grand Prix and at least go to one overseas Grand Prix a year After this race have not watched a F1 race. Lewis Hamilton should’ve got his eighth world champion. But the powers at be took that away from him, they did not want Lewis Hamilton to break Michael Schumacher‘s record. They did not want a black man to be a Grand Prix Champion x 8 And as For Max Verstappen, he is a petulant little child in a man’s body just see his action in the last Grand Prix (Hungarian 2024) showing his TRUE colours.
Mercedes denied LH a pitstop after the announcement of the SC was made. LH was in conversation with his engineer on the pit-to-car radio about going for fresh tyres after the engineer informed him that MV has made a pitstop immediately after the announcement. Mercedes was fully aware of the entire situation, but still denied LH that crucial pitstop, knowing very well that he had 40 lap old and worn hard profile tyres on his car, that could never stand up to the brand new soft profile tyres on MV Red Bull. The downfall of LH 8th DWC title started and ended in the Mercedes paddock. One do not have to be a rocket scientist to figure out who was responsible for that decision. Once again the picture of Michael Masi was inappropriately added to this video. Those who blame MM for this injustice, will be judged for judging him for something he never did.
On which planet does this oke live? Real people make decisions on the facts and the law/ rules and Lewis would have won under the safety car according to the rules, or a time out if all the lapped cars had been uncapped Accor to the rules, a double fix and an incontrovertible theft of a title!
I was against the decision at first, though now I get it, it was a good decision Max won it fair, what a championship, Lewis was awesome in his Mercedes if not one of his best years, and max was brilliant in the Red bull, be a good movie one day.
Lewis gets robbed and people will tell you to quit watching. Why is this? Why can’t you say something that clearly happened,that the FIA admitted with human error and people get mad and tell you to quit watching?
The 2021 DWC title was never LH's to win. Taking into consideration the points deficit between MV and LH at the Silverstone GP of 2021, that was demolished instantaneously at Copse corner when LH collided with MV at nearly 200mph, resulting in a 51G crash against the Tyre barrier, causing visual problems for MV to this day, benefitted LH massively. LH confirmed afterwards during a media briefing, that was broadcasted in a RUclips video, that he deliberately drove MV off the circuit, and from then on the FIA orchestrated all the races and points to have both of their points tallies equal for the final race at Abu Dhabi. The FIA did absolutely nothing about the deliberate and reckless endangering of another racing driver's life, even after LH's acknowledgedment of the fact. Proof of exactly how incompetent and misinformed both the FIA and FOM really are for allowing such atrocities under their watch. After revealing his true nature, as blatantly as he did, LH should never have been allowed back in any racing car. The FIA was very quick to impose a lifelong ban onto Nelson Piquet after his indiscretion against LH, so why didn't they impose a lifelong ban onto LH for endangering someone's life on-track during international racing? The FIA and FOM is pathetic in regulating any racing whatsoever. So, these are the facts of the 2021 F1 season and that is why LH never deserved to win that title. LH got what he deserved at Abu Dhabi in 2021 when he was betrayed by his own team.
Felipe Massa was not the only victim, and some hurts always said - "Rules are made to be broken!" By Trailblazer('s) of Honkai: Star Rail from HoYoverse.
It is time to look at the radio messages between Latifi and his team. It has emerged someone came on the radio and told Latifi " it is time to do now". Not long after that Latifi crashed by himself.
Yea crashed to help him, gains latifi nothing. Perez drove Amazing n Hamilton lost max won. The mistakes on fia no max. N karma Hamilton first title is Massas only title 💯
At this point All of Red Bulls Championship since are in Question since they have been caught breaking the rules consistently also caught cheating this season.

Please! I am absolutely a Hamilton fan and do not particularly like Verstappen, but when a season is that close you can point to a dozen mistakes by teams and officials that occured over the season. An early point counts as much as a late point.. For instance, in a late season race (I believe it was Baku), the tires were defective. A couple of drivers shredded their tires before Verstappen shredded his while in the lead on a late lap. Hamilton was uncontested at the front in a restart. All he had to do was finish there and he would have had enough points to make the Abu Dhabi race immaterial. On the restart, Hamilton failed to turn off the clutch used only for a standing start. As a result, he had so much understeer that he went right into the runoff lane and scored no points. Earlier in the Abu Dhabi race, Hamilton went off the track and gained a position.

As there were insufficient laps left to achieve that Hamilton had effectively won the race and his team chose not to pit him.
you are wrong. The rule at the time said ANY not All. Any is open to interpretation.
@greiglyas1 yes it did, but the president for all instances before was set....all lapped cars must be unlapped before the restart.
my respond to this is very simple ...this will not happend if Michael Schumachers' record is not challenge

Is anyone wondering how SWOLE Latifi's bank account got after that race??? VERY SWOLE is the answer. VERY VERY SWOLE!!! aka That was no 'accident'
The pits should be closed under the safety car to make it fair.
Allowing lapped cars to pass is also unfair to the leader. ie 21 last race.

I invite all to go to his channel to see how it should have been handled. This will be the last I'll weigh in on this topic.
I started my love with F1 at the start of 1959.
The 2021 season was made a total mess by the organizers.
Abu Dhabi was a monumental disgrace.
I haven't watched an F1 race since... nor followed F1 in the media...!
I only watched this video because of the clickbait title.
NO BODY CHANGE S THE RULES ON THE LAST LAP..............NO EVEN NASCAR " we need a miricle"
MV - The biggest fraud in the history of the sport.
masi is gone but his soul his alive in the paddock
This video told nothing we didn't already know,...l thought u had some real shit to talk about🙄
Even 1 user @F1FIXES BBC Andrew said a whole clash that time, no one right, pointless liar's, unbelievable...
Well I didn’t know anything until this video ? So now what?
Why didn't toto protest the result straight after the race😡☹️
Hw dud but was shut down
Mercedes had barristers at Abu Dhabi ready as they suspected something was up. They were apparently going to get them to act, but Lewis stopped it
Sold out
He did, he tried...
That was sum 📢 BS!!
If there were no intervention by Massi, how would the race have finished?
Pure robbery it was wrong
Massi brought F1 into disrepute and the FIA had to make him disappear. For real F1 fans, Sir Lewis won that race and he gained much admiration for not crashing into Verstappen. Verstappen is the real victim as this will haunt him for the rest of his life.
Your not allowed to overtake under the safety car simple and he did and still nothing happened
If it was robbed than it was the right talenred driver who did it.
Thank you for your excellent recap and re-opening of old wounds that definitely signalled that Michael Massi was just the pawn in this situation. I’m sure there were a few above him that didn’t want Lewis to be known as the GOAT. We all know who was the real winner. However I was hoping that you were going to shed new light onto this but alas I was disappointed.
I've said it once and I'll say it again. Never in any World Sport have the rules and regulations been manipulated so much to favour one compeditor over another, and all done while the sporting world watched. Everyone knows who the true winner of that race was and it wasn't RB or MV, you have to win a race fairly and squarely, not be gifted it.
James Vowles nailed it in one of his interviews when he said, "you have to win it fairly, if you win it and muddy the waters you will never gain the respect and you'll forever be tainted.
Masi was a fool that day, he paid the price and deserved his sacking, most of Sky Sports and Channel 4's F1 pundits lost my respect and will never gain it back by praising MV and his so called "win", the "Yes Men" they know who they are.
It was NOT the first time Masi had influenced a race by making up the rules on the fly. He did it at Monza 2019 ensuring a win for LeClerc and Masi's former team Ferrari. Nobody challenged him so he was emboldened to try it again. The truth is that if Charlie had lived, Hamilton would be an 8th times champion. Mercedes won the title that was important to them so Toto didn't bother to fight for the injustice as he said he would in the aftermath. It was a decision that could never stand up in a court of law.
Total fraud this needs putting right for me Lewis is 8 times WC
Every single previous F1 races released all lapped cars to pass before recommencing the race, everyone regarded this as the rule not to be misinterpreted to gain an advantage.
F1 did not want Hamilton to surpass Michael Schumacher, and this was their chance not realising the consequences or that anyone would or could contest the result.
Once Hamilton retires, he’ll be able to contest the result in court and have the trophy and championship reinstated along with monetary compensation for lost advertisement revenue.
Must return title to Hamilton!
I believe no championship should be decided behind safety car but I also believe fairness so I believe standing starts would be best
это ограбление века.
There is no need to watch this video.. No new information is provided.. it is just regurgitating information that we already knew from 2 years ago... unnecessarily, I might add.
Martin Randel, Alonso, Leyt played a role in Lewis been robbed of the 2021 World Championship.
Explain?
What exactly is the point of your title you dont come down on either side, why not just say it as it is Lewis was cheated out of the title & all those complicit in this should be banned from taking part in F1 that's what happens to drug takers in other sports, get of the fence
This channel is crap. SLH WAS CHEATED OUT OF THE TITLE
Lewis was robbed! The race should have ended under a yellow flag. Mr Masi did NOT follow the rules correctly regarding restarts after a safety car period. The FIA should have overturned the result. The fact they didn't is one of the reasons I no longer watch F1.
In its current form F1 is corrupt. The rules allow more than 20 cars on the grid, but the teams refuse to allow new teams to join! That is just fucking nuts!
The car would have been stopped on the middle of the track if Ayrton Senna was in Hamilton's position , by looking at history ....
I used to watch the F1 red religiously being based in the UK I always made arrangements to go to the British Grand Prix and at least go to one overseas Grand Prix a year
After this race have not watched a F1 race.
Lewis Hamilton should’ve got his eighth world champion.
But the powers at be took that away from him,
they did not want Lewis Hamilton to break Michael Schumacher‘s record.
They did not want a black man to be a Grand Prix Champion x 8
And as For Max Verstappen, he is a petulant little child in a man’s body just see his action in the last Grand Prix (Hungarian 2024) showing his TRUE colours.
Les 2 accidents de cours là étaient prémédité c'était les 1er pustules du complot de ( FIA F1 toto w, Mercedes..et Masi ) la honte
2 phenomenon? 1 phenomenon 1 cheat willing crash out his opponent to win...
Mercedes denied LH a pitstop after the announcement of the SC was made.
LH was in conversation with his engineer on the pit-to-car radio about going for fresh tyres after the engineer informed him that MV has made a pitstop immediately after the announcement.
Mercedes was fully aware of the entire situation, but still denied LH that crucial pitstop, knowing very well that he had 40 lap old and worn hard profile tyres on his car, that could never stand up to the brand new soft profile tyres on MV Red Bull.
The downfall of LH 8th DWC title started and ended in the Mercedes paddock.
One do not have to be a rocket scientist to figure out who was responsible for that decision.
Once again the picture of Michael Masi was inappropriately added to this video.
Those who blame MM for this injustice, will be judged for judging him for something he never did.
On which planet does this oke live? Real people make decisions on the facts and the law/ rules and Lewis would have won under the safety car according to the rules, or a time out if all the lapped cars had been uncapped Accor to the rules, a double fix and an incontrovertible theft of a title!
@@johnwilkinson2604 fool yourself if you so wish to do.
There is no way Max Verstappen can overtakes 5 position infront of him, in just 1 lap... ASSHOLE..!!
I walked away from it. No point if it’s fixed.
So happy with this deserved first WDC of GOAT Max.
People call cheating controversial....lol
Conspiracy
So what did chat get do the audio here?🤨
I was against the decision at first, though now I get it, it was a good decision Max won it fair, what a championship, Lewis was awesome in his Mercedes if not one of his best years, and max was brilliant in the Red bull, be a good movie one day.
Lewis gets robbed and people will tell you to quit watching. Why is this?
Why can’t you say something that clearly happened,that the FIA admitted with human error and people get mad and tell you to quit watching?
The 2021 DWC title was never LH's to win.
Taking into consideration the points deficit between MV and LH at the Silverstone GP of 2021, that was demolished instantaneously at Copse corner when LH collided with MV at nearly 200mph, resulting in a 51G crash against the Tyre barrier, causing visual problems for MV to this day, benefitted LH massively.
LH confirmed afterwards during a media briefing, that was broadcasted in a RUclips video, that he deliberately drove MV off the circuit, and from then on the FIA orchestrated all the races and points to have both of their points tallies equal for the final race at Abu Dhabi.
The FIA did absolutely nothing about the deliberate and reckless endangering of another racing driver's life, even after LH's acknowledgedment of the fact. Proof of exactly how incompetent and misinformed both the FIA and FOM really are for allowing such atrocities under their watch.
After revealing his true nature, as blatantly as he did, LH should never have been allowed back in any racing car.
The FIA was very quick to impose a lifelong ban onto Nelson Piquet after his indiscretion against LH, so why didn't they impose a lifelong ban onto LH for endangering someone's life on-track during international racing?
The FIA and FOM is pathetic in regulating any racing whatsoever.
So, these are the facts of the 2021 F1 season and that is why LH never deserved to win that title.
LH got what he deserved at Abu Dhabi in 2021 when he was betrayed by his own team.
Felipe Massa was not the only victim, and some hurts always said - "Rules are made to be broken!" By Trailblazer('s) of Honkai: Star Rail from HoYoverse.
Why was this never corrected... Why don't they give Hamilton his rightful win... Even if it's years later? I lost interest in the sport after this.
It was clearly fixed result You dont make up rules and change things around to make it how you want Never seen anything like this in any sport ever
This is why I don'twatch Formula 1 No more they didn't wanna black man Beating michael schumacher record
HELL FUCKING YEAH
The corrupted exist everywhere and Lewis paid a big prize , what would have happened the other way around!!!
I hate Lewis Hamilton but this was bang out of order.
It was the whole year!
It is time to look at the radio messages between Latifi and his team. It has emerged someone came on the radio and told Latifi " it is time to do now". Not long after that Latifi crashed by himself.
It was on the same lap.. Turn 13 or 14 is when it happened. Coincidence????
Yea crashed to help him, gains latifi nothing. Perez drove Amazing n Hamilton lost max won. The mistakes on fia no max. N karma Hamilton first title is Massas only title 💯
now they are ruinning boxing
"Lets cash in"...
All because of the GOAT Latifi
In the year 3045, Hamilton fans still not accepting the loss of 2021, new evidence found, it will prove …..,in the 6500……
At this point All of Red Bulls Championship since are in Question since they have been caught breaking the rules consistently also caught cheating this season.
Masi vivera caché pour le reste de son existence, Toto w, Mercedes FIA F1 ont donné le trophée 🏆 de LH à Max V , c'est raciste malhonnête et révoltant. LH aura minimum 10 Dieu est justice
