Five things we learned from the FIA Gala
Baku hosted this year’s event near the Formula 1 street circuit, and the Gala provided a chance for reflection and intrigue. During the event, Max Verstappen admitted that the final podium in Abu Dhabi was memorable because he realized he wouldn’t race that car again. Although Verstappen took the trophy, Lewis Hamilton returned to the Gala after skipping last year’s event due to the FIA’s mishandling of the safety car restart. Additionally, controversy surrounding Toto Wolff and his wife Susie’s potential conflict of interest was a backdrop. Despite his annoyance, Hamilton showed his professionalism and congratulated the champions in attendance.
