Wha꧟t happened led to widespread ♛fallout, with Mercedes protesting the decision after the race.

Nothing came of it with Mercedes withdrawing their appeal and Verstappen securing hisﷺ first world ti🌳tle.

Todt, who was FIA president at the time, refused to inte♉rfere, leaving it down to the st▨ewards to make a decision.

Todt sai𝕴d earlier this year: "I didn't do anything, it's no💙t the role of the president of the FIA.

“Referees must be autonomous. Have you ever heard [FIFA president Gianni] Infan𓄧tino say ‘Here there was a penalty, and here there was not’.

“In the documentary [‘The Method’ on French TV]♊ you can see that I'm watching that race in the country ho🌠use with the crew. 

“Horner and Wolff call me and to them I reply: ‘I can't interfere, it's the responsibility of the stewards and t﷽he race director.’”

While Wolff is now “at peace” with what happen🐓ed, he wishes Todt intervened.

"For us it was a catastrophic set of circumstances, but it was the making of one man - there is no big conspiracy theory behind it," Wolff told ESPN

"Would I have wished that Jean Todt got involved rather than being filming for his documentary? Yes. At least to tell the stewards to look ꦇat it the🥀 right way.

"But would it have made a d🦋ifference? I don't know. It was the making of one man, this was a championship between two drivers and two teams, both had merited to win and on the day the outcome was different because one guy just lost the plot.

"But I am at peace with it now."
