Ngokusekelwe kulwazi olunikeziwe, yini eyayibangela impikiswano nge-Abu Dhabi Grand Prix ka-2021?
Context:I-Abu Dhabi Grand Prix ka-2021 (eyaziwa ngokusemthethweni njenge-Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2021) kwaba umjaho wezimoto we-Formula One owabanjwa ngo-12 Disemba 2021 e-Yas Marina Circuit e-Abu Dhabi, e-United Arab Emirates. Umjaho, owawudonswa ibanga lemibuthano engu-58, wawungumjaho wamashumi amabili nambili nowokugcina we-2021 Formula One World Championship. Umjaho wanquma ubuqhawe babagibeli nabakhi; UMax Verstappen noLewis Hamilton bobabili babenamaphuzu angama-369.5 beqala umjaho. UHamilton wahola iningi lomjaho futhi wabonakala enekhono lokuwina lokho obekungaba irekhodi lesi-8 leWorld Drivers 'Championship, ngemuva kokuthatha phambili ekuqaleni komjaho ejika 1 emzuliswaneni wokuqala. Kodwa-ke uVerstappen waba ngumnqobi ekugcineni, edlula uHamilton emzuliswaneni wokugcina ngemuva kokuqala kabusha kwezimoto zokuphepha eziyimpikiswano ezikhathini zokugcina zomjaho. I-FIA ngakho-ke yenza uphenyo emjahweni okwaholela ekuhlelweni kabusha kokulawulwa komjaho okubandakanya ukushintshwa kukaMichael Masi njengomqondisi womjaho kanye nezinguquko emithethweni yemoto yokuphepha. Lolo phenyo lwabe seluphetha ngokuthi izikhulu zomjaho zazisebenzise kabi imithetho eyayikhona ngaleso sikhathi ngenxa yephutha lomuntu, kodwa lwaqinisekisa imiphumela.  Ukunqoba kukaVerstappen kwaqinisekisa iFormula One World Drivers 'Championship yakhe yokuqala empilweni yakhe ngamaphuzu ayisishiyagalombili kuHamilton, kanye neRed Bull Racing yokuqala kusukela ngo-2013. IMercedes iwine iFormula One World Constructors 'Championship yabo yesishiyagalombili ilandelana, ibeka irekhodi elisha. I-Grand Prix futhi kwaba umjaho wokugcina we-2007 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen; i-Finn eneminyaka engu-42 ubudala ishiye i-Formula One ngemuva komsebenzi weminyaka engamashumi amabili ehlanganisa ama-Grand Prix angama-349.  Uhlanga  Ukuqala nokuvula imibuthano Umjaho waqala ngo-17:00 ngesikhathi sendawo ngeSonto ngoDisemba 12. ULewis Hamilton ngokushesha wathatha isikhundla esiphambili kuMax Verstappen ekuqaleni komjaho, okwenza uVerstappen azame ukubuyisa isikhundla sakhe ku-chicané turn 6. Umzila kaVerstappen waphoqa uHamilton ukuba aphume emzileni, futhi umBrithani waphinde wangena phambili kancane kunomshayeli waseDashi kunangaphambi kokuba angene ekhoneni. Iphikisana nokuthi bekufanele anikeze isikhundla kuVerstappen, iRed Bull Racing yamelana nomugqa womjaho owathathwa nguHamilton, futhi yatshelwa ngomsakazo ukuthi ekugcineni uHamilton ubuyisele noma iyiphi inzuzo etholakele. Lesi sigameko sadluliselwa kubaphathi bezindiza, abafinyelela esiphethweni sokuthi asikho isidingo sokwenza olunye uphenyo. U-Hamilton wabe esebenzisa ukuqina kwamathayi akhe e-medium compound ukunweba ukuhola kwakhe ngaphezu kukaVerstappen, onamapayipi akhe athambile ayehlushwa ukonakala okukhulu.  Izindawo zokumisa izimoto eziphephile nezimoto eziphephile U-Verstappen wamisa ekupheleni kwe-lap 13 noHamilton elandela ngemuva kwe-lap elilodwa, bobabili bakhetha isethi yamathayi aqine kakhulu. Abashayeli abahola phambili baphakamisa uSergio Pérez waba ngowokuqala, kanti umshayeli waseMexico watshelwa ukuthi isu lakhe kwakuwukubambezela uHamilton ukuze avumele umlingani wakhe uVerstappen ukuba abambe. U-Hamilton wahlangana noPérez emzuliswaneni wama-20; ukuzivikela okunamandla komshayeli wesibili weRed Bull kwavumela uVerstappen ukuthi anciphise igebe kusuka cishe kumasekhondi ayi-11 ngemuva kwama-pits kuya kumasekhondi ayi-1.3. UVerstappen akakwazanga ukusizakala ngakho, ngesivinini sikaHamilton esiphakeme esandisa igebe libe yimizuzwana emine maphakathi nomjaho.  Imijikelezo yokugcina Emzuliswaneni wama-53, ingozi ephenduka engu-14 kaNicholas Latifi, owayelwa isikhundla noMick Schumacher kaHaas futhi enamasondo angcolile ngemuva kokuphuma esifundeni ephenduka engu-9, wakhipha imoto yokuphepha. U-Hamilton waphinde wahlala ngaphandle kokungena ebhokisini ngoba ngabe ulahlekelwe isikhundla sakhe emzileni ukube isikhathi semoto yokuphepha besingapheli, ngenkathi uVerstappen efika ngemuva kwakhe ukuze athole isethi entsha yamasondo athambile atholakalayo. UPérez washiya ngaphansi kwezimoto zokuphepha ngenxa yokucindezela kukawoyela. Ngemuva kokuma kukaVerstappen, wagcina indawo yesibili, kodwa ngezimoto ezinhlanu ezizungezile (lezo zikaLando Norris, uFernando Alonso, u-Esteban Ocon, uCharles Leclerc, noSebastian Vettel) phakathi kwakhe noHamilton (owokuqala). Njengoba imfucumfucu evela engozini kaLatifi yayihlanzwa ngababonisi bomjaho, abashayeli ababehamba kancane ekuqaleni batshelwa ukuthi babengeke bavunyelwe ukudlula. Emzuliswaneni wama-57 uMasi wanikeza isiqondiso sokuthi izimoto ezinhlanu kuphela eziphakathi kukaHamilton noVerstappen kwakufanele zizikhulule.  Ngokushesha ngemuva kokuthi uVettel edlule imoto yokuphepha ukujoyina isiyingi esiholayo, ukulawulwa komjaho kumemezele ukuthi imoto yokuphepha izongena emabhokisini ekupheleni kwesiyingi ukuvumela isiyingi sokugcina somjaho wefulegi eliluhlaza, okuholele ekutheni uthukuthele umphathi weqembu leMercedes uToto Wolff. Emzuliswaneni wokugcina, uVerstappen wasebenzisa amathayi akhe amasha athambile ukuze adlule uHamilton ephendukweni lesihlanu ukuze ahole emncintiswaneni. Uphinde wabamba ukuhlasela okuphambene kukaHamilton ukuze anqobe umjaho kanye neWorld Drivers 'Championship yakhe yokuqala, noHamilton endaweni yesibili nomshayeli weFerrari uCarlos Sainz Jr. endaweni yesithathu. Umshayeli we-AlphaTauri u-Yuki Tsunoda uqede endaweni yesine, ngemuva kokudlula uBottas. IMercedes yathola amaphuzu anele ukuze iwine isicoco sayo sesishiyagalombili esilandelanayo se-Constructors, yandisa irekhodi layo. Emsakazweni, uWolff wanxusa uMasi ukuba abuyisele ukuhleleka komjikelezo wangaphambi kokugcina, uMasi waphendula wathi: "Toto, kubizwa ngokuthi umjaho wemoto, kulungile? Sasiya emjahweni wezimoto".  Impikiswano ngemoto yokuphepha UMichael Masi wayebandakanyeka empikiswaneni yenqubo yemoto yokuphepha ngesikhathi semijikelezo yokugcina yomjaho. Emzuliswaneni wama-56 womjaho, lapho uHamilton ayehola khona, uMasi wavumela izimoto ezinhlanu kuphela eziphakathi ngqo phakathi kwabaphikisi beqhawe uHamilton noVerstappen ukuba bazikhulule ngaphambi kokuqala kabusha. Umjaho waqala kabusha, kwathi emzuliswaneni wokugcina womjaho, uVerstappen wadlula uHamilton futhi wanqoba i-World Drivers' Championship ka-2021.  Ukubhikisha kweMercedes ngemva komjaho IMercedes iphikisane nomphumela womjaho, ithi uVerstappen udlule uHamilton ngesikhathi semoto yokuphepha nokuthi uMasi wephule inqubo yemoto yokuphepha ngokuvumela izimoto eziphambi kukaVerstappen ukuthi zizikhiphe, hhayi ezinye, nokuthi ngokwemithetho ukuqala kabusha bekufanele kwenzeke umjikelezo olandelayo, obekungaholela ekunqobeni kukaHamilton. Ngenkathi udaba lokuqala lungazange luxazululwe ngoba uVerstappen wayengekho phambili ekupheleni kwesikhathi semoto yokuphepha, udaba lwesibili lwalunempikiswano enkulu, njengoba iMercedes yagcina ummeli wayo ukuze iqhubeke nokubhikisha. IMercedes yathi uma umyalezo wezimoto ezizungezile ukuthi zizodlula ukhishwa ngaphansi kweSigaba 48.12, khona-ke zonke izimoto ezizungezile kudingeka ukuthi zihlehlise, nokuthi imoto yokuphepha yayidingeka ukuthi ilinde kuze kube sekupheleni komjikelezo olandelayo ukuze ibuyele e-pit lane; uma le nqubo ilandelwa, iMercedes yathi uHamilton wayezowina umjaho ngakho-ke ubuqhawe, futhi wacela ukuthi ukuhlukaniswa kuguqulwe kanjalo. I-Red Bull yathi a) umthetho wawuthi "noma yiziphi izimoto", hhayi "zonke izimoto", kwakudingeka zidlule ngaphansi kweSigaba 48.12; b) I-48.13, elawula ukuhoxiswa kwezimoto zokuphepha, idlula i-Article 48.12; c) Isigaba 15.3 sinikeza umqondisi womjaho igunya eliphakeme ekusetshenzisweni kwezimoto zokuphepha; futhi d) umphumela womjaho wawungeke ushintshe uma zonke izimoto eziyisishiyagalombili ezizungezile zazivunyelwe ukuba zingangeni. UMasi wagomela ukuthi umgomo weSigaba 48.12 kwakuwukukhipha izimoto "eziphazamisa" abashayeli abagijima emjikelezweni oholayo nokuthi wonke amaqembu avumelane ngomgomo wokuthi yonke imijaho kufanele iphele ngaphansi kwezimo zomjaho.  Unobhala womjaho uzosebenza ngokubonisana njalo noMqondisi Womjaho. Umqondisi Womjaho uyoba negunya eliphakeme ezindabeni ezilandelayo futhi unobhala womjaho anganikeza imiyalo ngokuphathelene nazo kuphela ngemvume yakhe ecacile:... e) Ukusetshenziswa kwemoto yokuphepha.   UMercedes wafaka izinhloso zawo zokudlulisa isinqumo. Ngemuva kokumenyezelwa kwe-FIA ukuthi izokwenza "ukuhlaziywa okuningiliziwe nokucacisa" kwesigameko kanye nokuvuma kwayo ukuthi impikiswano "ibonakalisa isithombe" salo mdlalo, iMercedes yanquma ukungaqhubeki nokudlulisa kwabo icala, futhi yamemezela ukumiswa kokuphikisana kwabo ngoDisemba 16, amahora ambalwa ngaphambi kokuphela kwesikhathi sokuthumela.[b] Phakathi kwezizathu zokuyeka, uWolff uthe yena noHamilton babengafisi ukunikezwa ubuqhawe babashayeli enkantolo, futhi esikhundleni salokho bazogxila emizamweni yabo yokuqinisekisa umphumela olinganiselayo ophenyweni lwe-FIA emthethweni wezemidlalo. UWolff wahlala egxeka kakhulu isiqondiso sikaMasi emncintiswaneni - ikakhulukazi, uWolff wagxeka isinqumo sikaMasi e-Abu Dhabi ngokuthi asihambisani nesinqumo e-2020 Eifel Grand Prix, lapho uMasi abhekisa khona isidingo sokuvumela zonke izimoto ukuthi zingahlangani ukuze kwandiswe isikhathi semoto yokuphepha - futhi yena noHamilton babhikisha umcimbi wokunikeza umklomelo we-FIA ngalobo busuku. Kamuva uHamilton wahlawuliswa ngokungayi; wacela i-FIA ukuthi inikele ngenhlawulo njengomnikelo emsebenzini umzimba owenza nezingane ezihlwempu. Lesi sitatimende siphinde sakhulisa amahemuhemu okuthi uHamilton angamemezela umhlalaphansi ngokushesha ngemuva kokudumazeka ngezehlakalo zomjaho, yize uWolff akhombisile ukuthi yena nomshayeli wakhe bazoqhubeka kulo mdlalo ngemuva kwesikhathi sokuzindla ngaphandle kwesizini.  Ukusabela Kwezinhlanga Nokuphawula Engxoxweni eyalandela umjaho, uHamilton noyise u-Anthony bahalalisela uVerstappen nomndeni wakhe ngoMqhudelwano wakhe wokuqala weWorld Drivers' Championship.  Abashayeli abaningana bagxeka isinqumo sikaMasi esabonwa njengokuphambuka enkambisweni ejwayelekile yemoto yokuphepha. Emyalezweni womsakazo wokugcina oya kunjiniyela wakhe womjaho uPeter Bonnington, ongazange udlalwe kumabonakude, uHamilton uthe umphumela womjaho "uqediwe". URussell, owasayinwa ukuba abe ngumlingani kaHamilton e-Mercedes ngo-2022, ubize isinqumo sokuqeda umjaho somqondisi womjaho uMichael Masi ngokuthi "asamukeleki". UNorris, owayehlezi ngaphambili kwezimoto ezinhlanu ezavunyelwa ukuvula, wathi isinqumo sokubuyela emncintiswaneni emzuliswaneni wokugcina senziwa "nge-TV", kanti u-Alonso, u-Ocon, uLeclerc, noVettel, abashayeli bezinye izimoto ezine eqenjini, nabo baveza ukudideka lapho betshelwa ngokuzumayo ukuba bavule. UDaniel Ricciardo, owayehlezi ngemuva kukaVerstappen ngesikhathi semoto yokuphepha futhi engavunyelwe ukuzikhulula, uthe "waphelelwa amazwi" ngesikhathi ethola lo myalo, ikakhulukazi njengoba ungamvumeli ukuthi agijime neqembu lezimoto ezinhlanu ngamasondo amasha athambile, kanti uSainz Jr., owayebekwe ngemuva kwezimoto zikaRicciardo noLance Stroll lapho kuqalwa kabusha futhi ecindezelwe nguYuki Tsunoda, Pierre Gasly, noValtteri Bottas, wayenombono wokuthi isinqumo sokuqhubeka nomjaho ngaphansi kwalezo zimo "cishe samlahlekisela ipodiyamu yakhe". Ekhuluma ekwethulweni kwemoto ye-Aston Martin ka-2022 ngoFebhuwari ka-2022, uLance Stroll uchaze isimo sase-Abu Dhabi ngokuthi "siyinhlekisa" nokuthi imithetho kufanele ibekwe etsheni ngaphambi kokuqala kwesizini.
Nakuba kwakunokuningi okuyinkimbinkimbi ngokususelwa ezimweni ezenzeka, impikiswano eyayikhona emncintiswaneni yayihlobene neqiniso lokuthi izimoto ezazishaywe ngama-lap zazivunyelwe kuphela ukuhlanza ithrekhi. Lokhu kwakusho ukuthi uMax Verstappen wayevunyelwe ukuhlasela uLewis Hamilton enamasondo amasha engxenyeni yokugcina yomjikelezo wokugcina. Bobabili uLewis noMax kwakudingeka banqobe emncintiswaneni wokugcina ukuze banqobe umqhudelwano. Lokhu kwakuyoba umqhudelwano wokuqala kaMax noma umqhudelwano kaLewis wokushaya irekhodi wesishiyagalombili. Ngokuvumela izimoto eziphakathi kukaMax noLewis kuphela, umqondisi womjaho wawanamathela ngokwengxenye kuphela imithetho. Lokhu cishe kwanikeza uMax noRed Bull ukunqoba. Ngenkathi iMercedes iphikisana ngokushesha nesinqumo nomphumela wokugcina. UMax wanikezwa umklomelo wokuba umpetha.
