F1 | Abu Dhabi 2021 and the challenge of the controversies between Hamilton and Verstappen [VIDEO]
The story of that Sunday race also decided by the unfortunate choices of Michael Masi
F1 GP Abu Dhabi 2021 – Together with the 2010 edition, analyzed here, Abu Dhabi is remembered for the no-holds-barred challenge between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton which took place in 2021.
A bad parenthesis for the queen category of open-wheel motorsport that Toto Wolff&Company still remember today with disappointment and anger. On that occasion, in fact, the challenge for the championship between the two competitors - who arrived at Yas Marina with the same points - was decided by some rather questionable decisions of the Race Direction, a factor which not only created a great chaos in the following hours of the race , but also the removal – months later – of Michael Masi as Race Director (today, the Australian is no longer part of the FIA).
In any case, on that Sunday in Yas Marina, Verstappen guaranteed himself not only the first world title of his career, among other things on the last lap of the race, but also the opening of a cycle of victories that is still unchanged today. In the video the analysis of that race in Abu Dhabi.
