Lewis Hamilton said he "lost a little bit of faith" in the fair policing of Formula One after missing out on last year's title in controversial circumstances at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Hamilton was beaten to the 2021 title by Max Verstappen in Abu Dhabi after race director Michael Masi bent the FIA's own rules to ensure a safety car restart on the final lap that handed a significant advantage to Verstappen.
The Mercedes driver did not speak to media after the race and then opted not to post on social media for two months while he "unplugged and switched off" over the winter.
