FIA verdict on Hamilton incident Blasted by angry expert: “Am I going crazy?”

Spanish expert Víctor Abad has pointed out what he believes are inconsistencies in the FIA’s recent rulings.

It comes after a clumsy collision between Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Lance Stroll and Lando Norris in the Miami Grand Prix sprint race.

Hamilton raced through the inside of Turn 1 on the first lap and came into contact with Alonso, who crashed into Stroll, who in turn spun the McLaren.

The two Aston Martins had already tripped over each other when Hamilton arrived at the scene as the field narrowed in the first corner, and the FIA ​​decided to take “no further action” following an investigation.

Expert criticizes FIA decisions

The incident and collision sparked debate online, with Spanish expert Víctor Abad now speaking out on his social media channels.

“Alonso is curious and looks in his mirrors at Hamilton, who is coming towards him like a torpedo. He doesn’t want to risk reaching the apex because Hamilton is fixated on that line,” he said.

“If you look at the pictures, Alonso leaves the inside open… imagine if he had tried to turn things around.”

“There is a clear cause here for the aggravation of all these incidents – and his name is Lewis Hamilton. That’s in the FIA ​​documents, it’s not just me saying that.”

The FIA ​​investigation said: “Although it appeared to us that the incidents began with cars 14 and 18, the sudden and rapid arrival of car 44 contributed to the various collisions.”

“However, we have not been able to identify one or more drivers who were wholly or predominantly responsible for the various collisions or any one of them,” it said.

“Am I going crazy?” asks Abad, explaining that the result does not match the information in the documents.

Abad also claims that Hamilton benefited more from leniency than other drivers in incidents on the first lap.

Regarding the stewards’ justification that “the drivers were given more leeway in turn 1 of lap 1,” Abad believes: “That’s a lie! What I am about to tell you is a real fact.”

“In the last two and a half years, seven out of 10 cases involved a first-round incident being punished.”

“Which other three incidents were investigated without sanction? Hamilton, Belgium 2022, Hamilton, Qatar 2023, Hamilton, Miami 2024.”

Hamilton withdrew from the 2022 Belgium and 2023 Qatar races after the first lap collisions.
