same here mate, the best season ever in f1, and although the racing itself on that lap was incredible, croft can just generate the excitement on the tip of his tongue. what a race. what a season
Actually he had cramp in his leg and couldn't hit the brakes hard enough. He hadn't meant to go for it there. Terrible defending by lewis. I would have expected him to be defending like Perez was earlier in the race, not just leave the door wide open and let him past
bro i remember i lost it when he overtook there. i thought hamilton was gonna pass him back on the straight and he would lose. then again, thats just how verstappen is as a driver. goes for it at the first opportunity
That half of a lap of Checo's giving Max that 6 seconds or so back was hair raising. It was like watching some comeback kid disney sports movie from the 90s.
Unreal scenes, what a season finale. Hats off to both drivers for bringing us all the best F1 season of all time. 👏👏 A season that will be remembered forever 🙌
Uh no. Those years had a fair championship fight between the drivers. 2021 was decided by the race director breaking the rules, and he got fired after so don't tell me I'm wrong
@@mcxix2742yeah he clearly was stressed about the situation and made some questionable choices. First they say lapped cars will not be allowed to overtake, and then suddenly they are allowed to? Lewis and Mercedes had all the rights to be upset, im happy for Max tho
This was the first season I followed F1, and what a lucky man I was, to witness this amazing moment, I do remember that my galaxy watch notified me that my heart beat was too high, unbelivable finale.
@@DefenderOfLogic what you seem to neglect is the fact that the real human error that cost Hamilton the championship is that easily avoidable lock up at Baku.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Checo drive so hard when he was against Hamilton. You can truly see the passion he had for his teammate to go past his limit to give max the advantage. Enough to make a grown man cry
Literal tears happened when watching this recap and seeing that again. Didn’t realize just how important that was until after the race ended. Sheer will
Checo is an absolute beast. Some heavy lifting there. This season, Checo and Alonso has shown how F1 is a team sport. Not just in the pits but on track as well Give Checo a huge raise Red Bull! You owe him big time for this. And he deserves a giant slice of that celebratory cake.
Checo is a beast and an awesome teammate. I think next year he will find more consistency and continue to get more and more comfortable in the car that we all know is built for Max. Incredible job by Red Bull
I thought he showed some top notch racecraft. Direct message to Lewis that in equal cars, he won't just blaze through and keep winning with racers like Checo around.
"Checo is a legend" - Max, thank you Lewis and max for giving us such electric performance till the very end last lap... throughout the season it was amazing...
Dunno why they (Mercs) can't accept that Verstappen was the best driver this year but they were the best team. Its exactly how I would rate the season.
Perez is such a legend after this race, first towing max in Q3 and then holding Hamilton up in the race, my hat is off for you Checo. And stunning driving from Max aswell
Sergio Perez fully deserves all the praise he gets for defending like a true champion. He's knows for tyre management but today he's shown his worth as the 2nd driver for red bull. Gasly, Albon would nowhere be able to eat 6 seconds like Perez did. He kept his individual goals aside for team glory and he's helped max with the title
@@granofuru As Mikko explains, if Hamilton had another 6 or 7 seconds on Verstappen, he would've been able to pit during the safety car for free. You need 14 seconds to pit during the safety car, when it was called Max was 11 behind hamilton. an extra 6 seconds means hamilton WOULD'VE pit and still emerged P1, and probably kept his lead. Though it would've been a great last lap fight between Max and Lewis on fresh softs.
Sad that he couldn't finish his final race. I wanted to hear his cooldown lap radio 😔 A true legend of the sport that stayed strong for twenty years. Thank you Kimi! ❤

Honestly checo's defending shows his class as one of the top drivers in the grid. Not many people have the racecraft to hold up a 7 time world champion on way older tyres.Absolute class by checo.
Honestly latifi's crashing shows his class as of the the top drivers in the grid. Not many people have the racecraft to crash on way older tyres.Absolute class by latifi.
In the end it really meant nothing because Lewis left Max behind as soon as he cleared Checo and if it wasn’t for the caution Lewis would’ve beat max by at least 12 seconds
Did not finish on the Podium, so was not fighting for the lead as did not have the pace. All he did was ruin Lewis's race. I don't care who won out of Lewis or Max, don't like either. But what Checo did in my mind was wrong. And I would say the same if Bottas did it to Max.
@Erik Netjes I said for me. I find it poor form. And have said it for years. It's not fair because another driver is interfering in 2 drivers racing. And the driver interfering is not on pace and does not finish on the podium. Anyway, it is my opinion.
@@marianne1555 No hard feelings poor Possum would probably say the same nonsense if i was in your shoes of denial. On the other hand..... no I wouldn't. I'm not that crazy

@@sallagjanos7288 a lot of things weren’t his fault buddy let’s not forget bottas was off too this season they were both really unlucky lol mclaren was the only team to get a 1-2 this year
@@sallagjanos7288 It was his first year in a car that is notoriously difficult to drive. What did you expect? He made insane progression throughout the season, especially the last few races. I think they have a great number two driver moving forward.
Checo held back Lewis by about 10 seconds, just class racing craft. This was amzing battle from both Lewis and Max, to me both were winners after such a spectacle.
"is it gonna be the first world championship for max verstappen, is it gonna be the 8th world championship for lewis hamilton" i remember that goosebumps
"That was about all Perez can do" says the commentator "or was it?" Amazing move by Sergio Perez holding Hamilton back by "playing the ultimate team game". Checo Perez is Legend.
That may have been, but didn’t change much because with 5 laps left, Ham was leading by 11sec.. a sure done deal until that pure luck “the crash”.. the rest is history.. one lap on new soft tires vs expensed hard tires.. no brain there!
I just want to remind people that Bottas too... is an absolute Legend for the things he has done for Mercedes and Hamilton over the years, of playing the ultimate team game! I hope he does well in Alfa! Checo and Perez: Best sidekicks of F1!!
On a worn, 20 laps old softs! How u can not love this guy? Its the best teammate u can have by your side. Much love for Checo, can't wait to see them both in next season!
@@ThePablitocarvalho Do you see Bottas holding that well to Max? Because I don't. Not even there, but if he would be there I don't consider que would be able to do so.

Honestly latifi's crashing shows his class as of the the top drivers in the grid. Not many people have the racecraft to crash on way older tyres.Absolute class by latifi.
Checo and Alonso are the MVP teammates
The best moment of the race was Checo defending against Lewis. What a legend.
Idk hearing the crowd and crofty on the last lap was too intense
lewis said it was dangerous what checo did ........how?
@@jaz2791 cause Checo didn’t give up on attacking and defending. Lulu is not used to this.

Is that Glock ? On fresh soft tyres ❤🎉😂😂😂
Still gives me chills nearly 3 years on
"Checo is a legend!"
"Absolute animal...!"
I couldn't agree more
Absolute animal sounds like insult to me hahaha
@@zeezmusic7245 ummm
Red bull
Clue in the name
And Christian was the one that said the animal part
I pressed the word "more" to read more of your comment 😂😂
In the end it really meant nothing because Lewis left Max behind as soon as he cleared Checo and if it wasn’t for the caution Lewis would’ve beat max by at least 12 seconds
And what he did was blocking Ham from getting the cheap pit stop of the virtual safety car, GRANDE Checo
Best part of the race was Checo's defending. What a BEAST!
in the year
"Noo Michael Nooo" was also up there.🤣
and max's win
@@jungleboogie78 wolff: noo noo oh noo oh nooo... 🤣🤣🤣
@@d.s.2868 hahahahahaha. Iconic
Thanks Crofty for the best piece of commentary I’ve ever heard in sports
Watching again and again gives such excitement.
After what Checo has done, he deserves at least 3 year contract.
They'll give him a bottle of Martini
He broke the second seat curse😂
Did it matter?
@@granofuru well yes, Ham didn’t pit because of it.
@@user-nu2it6kf2m I don't think it did matter
Watched it a 1000 times still enjoy it
This race still gives me chills
Goosebumps every time I see Checo's defense against Hamilton. This man keeps proving his greatness time and again.
Did not finish on the Podium, so was not fighting for the lead as did not have the pace. All he did was ruin Lewis's race. I don't care who won out of Lewis or Max, don't like either. But what Checo did in my mind was wrong. And I would say the same if Bottas did it to Max.
@Erik Netjes I said for me. I find it poor form. And have said it for years. It's not fair because another driver is interfering in 2 drivers racing. And the driver interfering is not on pace and does not finish on the podium. Anyway, it is my opinion.
@@BatMan-oe2gh he was fighting for a place. Totally legit.
@@BatMan-oe2gh Cryy more
@@BatMan-oe2gh Whats the point of having teammates then? It isn't in poor taste, it's a part of the race, unbelievable driving by Checo
Also lets take a second to appreciate Perez's teamwork. He selflessly put team first. Great sportsmanship. Happy to see RB back to winning ways.
I think you really need to give the credit to the safety car. That’s why Max won.
And Honda power!
Wasn't selfless he was deliberately being part of a team
@@matthewwilliamscott you mean latifi
It would be nice if Perez drove like that for himself
Best final laps of all time. This is how F1 should be.
Whaou if not respecting the rules is great well...
@@marianne1555 No hard feelings poor Possum would probably say the same nonsense if i was in your shoes of denial. On the other hand..... no I wouldn't. I'm not that crazy
Still the most dramatic race I’ve ever witnessed. Nobody could’ve expected 2021 to go the way it did and if you witnessed it all it was really something.
Checo defending it like a boss with 20 laps old soft tyres.. Pulled of an alonso feat right there
23 lap old tyres. He did a few quali laps on them
Red Bull lost the Championship because of Perez
@@sallagjanos7288 a lot of things weren’t his fault buddy let’s not forget bottas was off too this season they were both really unlucky lol mclaren was the only team to get a 1-2 this year
@@sallagjanos7288 It was his first year in a car that is notoriously difficult to drive. What did you expect? He made insane progression throughout the season, especially the last few races. I think they have a great number two driver moving forward.
@@sallagjanos7288 your comment shows you don't know much about the actuam championship
Latifi’s chance of driving for Mercedes’ went from 0% to -1,000%
Hahahaha
Latifi drove a Mercedes (engined car) way too long.
Lattifi is no bottassi
😂😂😂
But he can drive a Honda in the future 😂
I will never forget this moment. I was so happy haha, I still get goosebumps and watery eyes.
Checo, you are a freaking legend! Congrats to Max for the championship
When he was defending against Hamilton on older tires I was cheering him on. I could hear Alonso’s voice saying “defend like a Lion!”
Checo held back Lewis by about 10 seconds, just class racing craft.
This was amzing battle from both Lewis and Max, to me both were winners after such a spectacle.
Cuando los easter eg de 2042??
A legend once said “ I don’t have to help you but I can.” Checo
Lewis disrespected Checo in press conference . Now Checo got his revenge and showed him what he can do on a comparatively slower car and torn tyres .
One thing every one will agree upon in this race... CHECO IS A LEGEND
When Max said CHECO IS A LEGEND makes it even better
Latifi too
I really wanted Lewis to get his 8th, but Checo was a beast today🔥
Absolute Animal 🐏
It was kind of easy, Hamilton couldn’t push/ split / force anything against Perez, any touch would help Max. Perez had nothing to lose.
Best race , a pleasure to always come back and watch again 😅
I love watching hamilturd lose hehe
"is it gonna be the first world championship for max verstappen, is it gonna be the 8th world championship for lewis hamilton" i remember that goosebumps
"That was about all Perez can do" says the commentator "or was it?" Amazing move by Sergio Perez holding Hamilton back by "playing the ultimate team game". Checo Perez is Legend.
That may have been, but didn’t change much because with 5 laps left, Ham was leading by 11sec.. a sure done deal until that pure luck “the crash”.. the rest is history.. one lap on new soft tires vs expensed hard tires.. no brain there!
@@bigben3205 Lewis would’ve had a free pit stop if checo hadn’t slowed Hamilton down. Verstappen gained over 8 seconds in those two laps
I just want to remind people that Bottas too... is an absolute Legend for the things he has done for Mercedes and Hamilton over the years, of playing the ultimate team game! I hope he does well in Alfa! Checo and Perez: Best sidekicks of F1!!

Perez v Hamilton was one of the best moments of the race.
Perez vs Hamilton has been the best racing in the whole of the season. Many occasions !!!

Of the entire season.

@@lenixxqthat's reasonable
Rewatching this on the first day of testing for the 2024 season, and it still gets me hyped 😅
What Checo did was one of the best defence in F1 history! He drove and defended like a legend. This is we call teamwork.
On a worn, 20 laps old softs! How u can not love this guy? Its the best teammate u can have by your side. Much love for Checo, can't wait to see them both in next season!
I'd say Alonso's defense in Hungary was better but this one is right behind
Checo,tsunoda and gasley,Verstappen are beasts
@@mikblues_146 i said one of the best. Fernando is PHD in F1.
I agree
"NO MICHEAL NO NO MICHAEL. THAT WAS SO NOT RIGHT!!" Best moment of the season.
Made my morning 😂
😭
right up there with Brundle's "I can do that, because I just did."
No Michael..that is not what we paid you for!!!
@@thomask5038 that should’ve been michaels response 🤣

Best wingmam

@@ThePablitocarvalho Do you see Bottas holding that well to Max?
Because I don't.
Not even there, but if he would be there I don't consider que would be able to do so.
Checo's defending bought the gap from 8 secs to 1.5 secs, absolute animal
What a season this has been
Red Bull lost the Championship because of Perez
@@sallagjanos7288 Exactly. But his blind fanboys simp for everything he does when he is merely doing what Red Bull expects him to do.
and yall call it racing. Not.
Bit pointless at the end of it all though.
That just tells me other drivers don't fight hard enough. Once I was linched in the comments because I said that, Perez just backed me off.
