Autosport Podcast: F1 Abu Dhabi GP review
Max Verstappen clinched the 2021 Formula 1 world championship in dramatic fashion after a last-lap overtake on Lewis Hamilton won him the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
It proved a fitting end to a thrilling F1 season not short of controversy as the decision to restart the race with one lap to go sparked anger from Mercedes, who lodged two protests post-race.
Verstappen had been trailing Hamilton by over 10 seconds with six laps remaining, only for the safety car to be deployed and bunch the field, setting up a final shootout between the title rivals.
Verstappen secured the race win with a move up the inside of Hamilton at Turn 5, but Mercedes has already lodged its intention to appeal the dismissal of its protests, meaning the story could yet rumble on.
