Late Night Drives with Sukriti Patny - 2021 Abu Dhabi GP
Manage episode 315062430 series 3292811
Sukriti Patny joins me to unwrap that absolutely insane season finale at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
With Max Verstappen starting on pole, poised to take home the crown, what could Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes do? Come Sunday, Hamilton had a better start into Turn 1, with a reaction time a tenth of a second faster than Verstappen's and that made all the difference.
Tyre strategies, pit stops, team mates - the two teams threw everything at this race. Until Nicholas Latifi crashed at Lap 53 bringing out the safety car, and the FIA made some controversial decisions to allow racing to resume leading to a one lap shootout between Max & Lewis - for the title.
Max Verstappen took the race win, and the championship, as Mercedes held on to the Constructers Title, bringing a conclusion to this hotly contested season.
But with two protests, and a filing of an intention to appeal, perhaps this season still has a twist to offer?
