While doing so, he is pushing the F1 and FIA (International Automobile Federation).

“Hamilton is trying to increase the pressure on the FIA. He has that power,” said Geron Blakemoren.

“I think he wants to get rid of some people from it, like Michael Masi. He’s trying to overturn it from the ground up. He can do that.”

“Some people will disappear. His opinion is noticed and everyone is talking about it. It puts pressure on the FIA. Now they have to come up with a good story. Otherwise , Hamilton’s first words will be something they don’t want to hear. “

John Sun Wheatley and the FIA agree that the first step is to pay at least more attention to how the radio discussion between Michael Masi and the F1 team will be broadcast in the future. It seems.

“The problem is that the collaborative approach dies when everything is broadcast on television,” admits John Saint Wheatley.

“I’ve been a little frustrated and said something I shouldn’t say.”

Former F1 World Champion Mika Hakkinen believes there remains a risk that Lewis Hamilton is really starting to think about retirement.

“There are certainly many factors he will consider,” said Mika Hakkinen, who retired from F1 at the age of 33.

“2022 will definitely be an interesting year for him. We are talking about a completely new racing car and some designers may do a much better job than others.” Said Mika Hakkinen.

“If that happened to Lewis, you’re no longer on the best car. It would be difficult to accept going down from the top and climbing again.”

“There are a lot of question marks around Lewis. I don’t know if he will come back, but I hope he will.”
