Lewis Hamilton has shocked the Formula 1 world after publicly expressing his frustration with the FIA. During a live interview, the seven-time world champion accused the sport’s governing body of making absurd decisions, favoring some teams over others. Hamilton said   Ferrari   had been unfairly penalized and suggested the FIA’s recent decisions had compromised the Italian team’s competitiveness. 

The Mercedes driver said race direction was applying the rules inconsistently, penalizing some teams more severely than others. “I don’t understand what’s going on. It’s as if they’re trying to take away Ferrari’s chances of winning with inexplicable decisions. This sport should be fair, but I don’t see any justice in these decisions,” Hamilton said vehemently.

Hamilton’s comments came after a controversial Grand Prix, in which some of the penalties imposed on Ferrari were considered excessive by many fans and analysts. The Maranello team found itself in trouble due to questionable penalties, which jeopardized the race result. Hamilton emphasized that the FIA ​​must ensure more transparent and impartial management of races, so that all teams have an equal opportunity to fight for victory. 

On the other hand, the FIA ​​defended its decisions, arguing that the rules are applied fairly and according to the circumstances of the race. However, many observers believe Hamilton’s comments have sparked a necessary debate about how certain decisions are made within Formula 1.

Fans have also reacted strongly to Hamilton’s accusations, some openly supporting him, while others criticized him for his attitude. “Hamilton is right, the FIA ​​is clearly penalizing some teams more than others,” one fan wrote on social media. Others, however, countered: “He’s just looking for an excuse to justify Mercedes’ struggles this season.” 

Hamilton’s comments have inevitably put more pressure on the FIA, which will now have to deal with the growing dissatisfaction between drivers and teams. Ferrari, for its part, has yet to issue an official statement regarding the British driver’s comments, but the Italian team is likely to closely monitor the situation and take a position in the coming weeks.

With the season still long and many Grands Prix ahead, it remains to be seen whether the FIA ​​will take action to address the criticism or continue to maintain its course. One thing is certain: the controversy sparked by Hamilton adds a new chapter to the already intense history of Formula 1, and the debate over race management is far from over.
