Verstappen and Hamilton went head-to-head in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix but the result was controversial

Race director Michael Masi ignored safety car rules and set up a single-lap shootout which which led to rival Max Verstappen taking the crown.

Masi has been under pressure since, with the results of an FIA inquiry due ‘some time this week’.

Mercedes and Red Bull’s team principals – Toto Wolff and Christian Horner – were in London for an annual F1 Commission meeting but ‘barely any progress’ was made.

Despite the disappointing end to the season, Hamilton has won SEVEN world titles.

His future in the sport was thought to be up in the air following the event in Abu Dhabi.

The British F1 legend was said to be disillusioned by Masi’s decision.
