LEWIS HAMILTON says everyone needs to see details of the investigation into the botched Abu Dhabi Grand Prix for Formula One to finally move on.
Britain’s seven-time F1 world champion has been notably restrained in his condemnation of December’s farce at the Yas Marina Circuit which cost him a record eighth title.
Fans, pundits and F1 alumni have all aired views on the confusing safety car-related decision which allowed Red Bull’s Max Verstappen to pip Mercedes star Hamilton to the title on the final lap of last season.
But despite it all prompting him to consider his future in the sport, Hamilton, 37, has largely kept kept shtum and off the social media grid as the sporting world had its say.
The only definite consequence of the FIA’s probe is the sacking of the race director who made the disputed in-race call, Michael Masi.
Full details are due to be presented to the World Motor Sport Council on March 18, two days before the 2022 season-opening race in Bahrain.
Hamilton has now emerged back into the public eye to help promote Merc’s new W13 car.
And when asked by reporters about the FIA’s investigation, he said: “I’ve not seen it – I didn’t think it was out yet.

“I’m excited to see the results from that report.
“I think hopefully everyone will get to see it, and to have perhaps a better understanding of everything.
“I think ultimately, like everything, it’s down to understanding where we’ve been, so we can move forwards in a positive light.”
