Lewis Hamilton suffered the most heartbreaking scenario of his life after the final lap of the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP. His lifelong dream of clinching the elusive eighth championship title slipped away from his hands in the dying embers. The Brit self-isolated after the harrowing reality hit him. However, if we are to listen to the Hamilton of now, the Mercedes man has clearly nursed his wounds. Hamilton’s recent comments showcase how he would like to prioritize Formula 1 and relive the agony of the 2021 season in a bid to end Max Verstappen’s dominance.
Don’t get him wrong, it’s not just because his ardent rival is dominating. Hamilton’s idealistic approach wants to end this tyrannical rule over the world of Formula 1. Hamilton recognizes he and even Michael Schumacher have leaders of this rule. However, no more! Speaking to SoyMotor.com, Hamilton communicated his desire to see this scenario change.
“Max and his team have done an incredible job and they deserve all the success. It’s about not repeating my period or Schumacher’s. We have to keep improving to have tighter fights for the World Cup. What a title It’s open and it’s decided in the last race, it’s the best thing that can happen to you, it’s incredible and the more teams there, the better,” Hamilton said.

The sport openly admitted to making an error in judgment with their call during the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP. The history-altering decision was termed a “human error” by the lawmakers. However, after this unacceptable admission, the F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali admitted to doing better in the future.
Domenicali said, “I would say a strong word we will because I feel that everyone has to do its own job but the credibility of that is really related to all of that making sure that there will be no holds on that and it’s true what you’re saying I mean these things shouldn’t happen and for the benefit of the sport we need to make sure that everyone is doing his own job.”
