The petition to overturn the result of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and give victory to Lewis Hamilton has reached 100,000 signatures.
A Change.org petition created by Hamilton fan Patel Gordon-Bennett has gained huge media attention for attempting to overturn Max Verstappen's controversial victory at the Yas Marina circuit in December that year. What was a straight shootout between the two title-chasers turned into a farce during a late safety car period.
The pair started the race on equal points meaning whoever finished higher would ultimately win the championship. Hamilton was just five laps away from winning a record eighth world title when a Nicholas Latifi crash caused a safety car, creating last minute drama.
