Red Bull's double title-winning campaign was overshadowed by their breach of the 2021 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 cost cap - which saw the team hit with a $7m fine and a 10 per cent reduction in their wind tunnel time over the next 12 months - and a team orders row that erupted after168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen refused to give sixth place back to teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Sergio Perez in Brazil. 

Speaking in an interview with ahead of the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Hamilton was asked for his thoughts on some of the off-track saga🎶s involving Red Bull that dominated the headlines. 

“I me🥀an it feels like a bit of a Kar𝄹dashian show happening here,” the seven-time world champion responded. 

“It’s pretty hilarious, some of the stuff 💟that I’ve heard over the ꦜpast few days has been so entertaining."

Hamilton appeared to allude to a now-deleted social media post from Verstappen’s mother - which accused Perez of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“cheating on his wife” - when he was asked to provide a speci🥃fic example.&nbs⛎p;

“I c♑an’t say… Somebody’s mother posting something,” Hamilton said. 

“Just some prett🐓y interesting stuff going on. I’m sure it’ll all be on Netflix - it’s going to be great.”

Hamilton added: “We’ve got to continue to strive for transparency and continuously work to make sure that we stay strong to the core values of whaꦫt the spoℱrt is and make sure we don’t veer off from those things. 

“But what a mess in that space. It’s been very interesting to see it unfold ove🐭r the last 12 months.”

‘I couldn’t say I wanted to be here’ 

Red Bull’s breach of the cost cap brought the controversial 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, in which Hamilton was denied a record-breaking eighth world title following a mishandled 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Safety Car period, back into the spotlight. 

Asked how he felt returning to the scene of his heartbreaking title loss almost 12 m﷽onths earlier, Hamilton replied: “It didn’t feel great walking in this morning. 

“I couldn’t say that I necessarily꧋ wanted to be here, but if I’m really honest, since I’ve been in my room, I’ve been getting my head down into preparat𓄧ion.

“We get caught up in alꦅl these different things we are experiencing and forgetting to be living in gratitude. That’s something we really need to remember, because there are so many people that are having way, way worse times, so many people that are struggling. 

“It could be so, so much worse and it’s always just being grateful for a new day♋, a new chance to be better, a new chance to challenge yourself and shape the future. 

“I🍌 try to take any negative feeling I have, brush it aside and move forward🅰.”

And Hamilton said he was “definitely not expecting” the outpouring of suppor༒t he received in the wake of the 202🐈1 title showdown. 

“The general ﷺlove that I have experienced through the year, which I think is what has got me through the🐠 year, if I’m really honest – with the challenge of coming back in, wanting to fight back but not being able to fight back.

“I know some people🍨 in life struggle to accept love, and I’ve definitely been someone that’s been like that for a long, long time. So this year was one that I was able to open up a little bit more on a little bit and that’s really been a beautiful experience. So I’m really grateful for that."
