Juan Manuel Correa has demanded to see the full FIA report into the crash which killed Anthoine Hubert and left him severely injured last August.

This week, the governing body absolved all parties of any blame in the incident at the top of Eau Rouge/Raidillon during the Formula 2 feature race at Spa Francorchamps.

A summary of the report offered a detailed timeline of the four-car accident, including some shocking statistics, and the rapid response from marshals, medical personnel and race officials.

But Correa admits he expected more.

“Last Friday the FIA announced that they had concluded their investigation into the accident that took place on August 31st at Spa-Francorchamps and released a summary of their findings," he wrote on Instagram late Saturday.

“FIA’s Safety Department spent more than five months conducting this investigation but for me, their summary raises more questions than it provides answers.

“In addition, I find it surprising that the full and complete accident report has not been made available to me so that I might have a clearer understanding of the conclusions reached by the FIA.

“On August 31 2019, my friend and a fellow driver lost his life, a family lost a loved one, and I suffered severe injuries," Correa noted.

“We cannot change the past, but perhaps all this pain and sacrifice can have some meaning if it serves to make our sport safer.

“As a result, I will continue to work with my legal team to obtain a copy of the full accident report.

“I hope to be in a position to comment further once the report has been made available to me, and when I have a clearer insight into the conclusions reached by the FIA and the safety improvements that it intends to bring about.”

Correa continues his recovery in Miami, following multiple surgeries in Belgium and London in the weeks after the crash.
