So as the sands of time run down to the end of this magnificent Formula 1 season, we come to chapter 22, and the chance for Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton to be the writer of their own story. Each has one hand on the championship trophy. Both have the opportunity to realize their dreams. We know this is the final chapter. The end of an epic battle that has captured everyone’s attention and emotions. What we don’t know, is how this blockbuster ends. It’s winner-takes-all. Welcome from the Yas Marina Circuit. Scores level, 58 laps ahead of us before the chequered flag waves goodbye to this brilliant season. And it’s a season finale on a modified circuit. This is the hairpin at turn 5, the chicane before it is long gone. We’ve got banking now at turn 9, where once upon a time we had opportunities to overtake into a chicane. And we’ve got a much faster end to this circuit as well. A maximum speed of 200MPH but your about 100-120MPH through turns 12, 13 and 14 where we’ve already seen cars brush with the wall and bang against them in the case of Kimi Raikonnen in Friday Practice. Pirelli have brought with them for this final round the softest compound tyres in their range. It is the C5, the C4 and the C3. The hard tyre thought to be a very good race tyre, neigh the Red Bull pair of Max Verstappen or Sergio Perez have run it so far this weekend. Lewis starts on the Medium tyre, Max starts on the softs. Here’s the grid then for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Max Verstappen on pole for a second year in a row here, Lewis Hamilton along side him, an 11th front row start here in Abu Dhabi. Lando Norris his best qualifying since pole in russia starts 3rd ahead of Sergio Perez equalling his best qualifying here in fourth. Carlos Sainz will start in 5th his best ever start here, Valtteri Bottas down in 6th on his final start for Mercedes. It’s Charles Leclerc starting 7th for Ferrari alongside Yuki Tsunoda in 8th and Esteban Ocon in 9th alongside Daniel Riccardo who sneaks into the top 10. 11th goes to Fernando Alonso, missed out on Q3 by twelve-thousandths of a second. He keeps Pierre Gasly company. Lance Stroll in his 100th start for Aston Martin is 13th on the grid ahead of Antoinio Giovinazzi who waves goodbye to Formula 1. Sebastian Vettel starts 15th ahead of Nicholas Latifi in 16th, Latifi out qualifying his Williams teammate George Russel on his final appearence for Williams before he goes to Mercedes. Kimi Raikonnen in his final start in Formula 1 is 18th. Mick Schumacher all on his own in 19th, Nikita Mazepin not racing after testing positive for COVID, we send our best wishes to him.
I've watched a lot of F1 when I was a kid during the late 2000s and early 2010s. I took a hiatus from F1 as I didn't had any way to watch from where I'm from and also kinda lost interest. I only came back to watching F1 full time again in the 2023 season and I wished I've came back earlier to witness this season. Even though I've never experienced it live, watching this alone still gave me goosebumps. I envy all who managed to experience this race when it happened

If I knew Brian Tyler composed the Transformers Prime intro song back then, I'd put it over the intro as I watched it live. It'd be even more badass than it originally was.
Great intro, allow me to translate what the spanish broadcaster said it was equally epic. “Welcome to the last dance, welcome to the last race, that because of things of destiny will be the one that decides everything. After more than six thousand kilometers and more than a thousand laps of competition all will be decided in the last 300 kms. 58 Laps to know who will be the champion of the most challenging, polemic and thrilling season of the last times. It’s been 50 years since the last time 2 drivers reach the last race tied in points and 14 years to find such a brutal tension between rivals to the point that the fanbase has grown and divided supporting each of their drivers. It is the law of sports some will win and some will have to bite the dust, any small or big detail will decide the champion. If lewins wins, it would be an historic day, he would capture his 8th title and pass Schumacher. If Max wins it will be his first title, he will become the 34th F1 champion of the world and the dutchman would have ended and era. He will have put and end to Mercedes crushing dominance of the sport. Enjoy what comes next!
It was absolutely beautiful, I had crazy chills when I frist saw this, truly made me recognize the fact that it was an exceptionally important season of Formula 1 and it's a shame I couldn't savor it more, it was absolutely amazing
When the point gaps came up I was so fucking hyped, they never do recaps like that, it made me think back to when people were saying F1 didn't need a theme music and when into that part I was like " no way, they're playing the whole thing !!! " lol
I'm sorry but this race reminds me of cars 3 when Cruz beat Jackson Storm to win the Florida 500 and I'm glad Max verstepen won the championship against Lewis Hamilton
You know what, im gonna say it. David "crofty" croft is THE best commentator of formula 1, like you think theres so much to say and not emough time to say it, but crofty somehoe just finds the words to put it all in, in the best way. I know the others are good, but imo crofty will always be the best, and nobody will ever change my mind
Very maybe 2023,now that everyone probaly understands the 2022 regulations. Everyone should be closer together. Redbull Ferrari and mercedes to find a way to the top
Get in there Lewis Ah ha Yes Get job with the strategy Ah So Sorry Guys Let’s get this over with That was masterclass and your leading the world championship Just turned in on me Lewis we never give up we never give up this is still on Well done mate that was epic That’s what you get when you don’t leave the space That’s the 100 Fast max that was Classy Tried everything I Could But we were just not quick enough I’ve just hit him man my wings broken ITS NOT OVER YET
Why do we allow more than 1 team manage by the same people? Mercedes and Williams? Red Bull and Alphatauri? Ferrari and Haas? Is the same as Barcelona B plays in the same league with Barcelona
Out of those teams that you mentioned only RB and AT are owned by the same company,Mercedes is owned Mercedes(obviously) Williams is owned by a private invesment firm Dorilton capital,Ferrari is owned by Ferrari and Haas is an american team owned by Gene Haas

So, are you agree if the new Abu Dhabi layout is more better than the old Abu Dhabi layout, mate? 😉
I FN LOVE IT!!!
@@BrianRulex Love what, mate? I didn't understand.
A true masterpiece of an intro by Crofty
The goosebumps when Crofty says "Kimi Raikkonen in his final start in Formula 1"...
I saw this intro last week and I'm already feeling nostalgic today... 😭
Counting days to new season still far away 😭
That was an EPIC intro!!!
0:28 Max is looking at Lewis...
0:29 Lewis is the ultimate boss...
pity the fia and michael masi ruined it
@@vishpatel6953 Oh shut up lulu fanboy
don't care who you support, that season was epic
2:18 he just predicted it

"So, as the sands of time run down to the end of this magnificient F1 season, we come to chapter 22..." Still got goosebumps :D
im still watching this today and its been almost a year and it still sends chills down the spine...its incredible
Yes it’s so good
Yup, i still cannot forget that epic night
even now, 2 years and 4 days ago... it still has the same affect
History sure did await. And it was worth every second.
So the two strokes of "F" represent the championship contenders desperately fighting it out to reach "1"
1:15
The one is the finish line
Crofty is the Peter Drury of F1.
Who Is Peter Drury? #SeriousQuestions
@@radityapramanaputra9440 Probably one of the greatest football commentators of all time. An absolute master with words and speaks with pure passion for the sport.
this with the theme playing is absolutely ELITE
That is such an incredible intro, for the finale of an epic season.
Liberty Media has done a hell of a job hyping up the Verstappen-Hamilton rivalry for 2021!
watching this before the Qatar 2023 GP
If I knew Brian Tyler composed the Transformers Prime intro song back then, I'd put it over the intro as I watched it live. It'd be even more badass than it originally was.
It's a shame this amazing season is over :(
Yeah, 2012 on the Turbo-Hybrid version. 😉
Also a shame how it ended
the best intro !!!!!!!!!
Especially the way Max looked at Lewis, the ultimate boss of the finale!
Great intro, allow me to translate what the spanish broadcaster said it was equally epic.

Chills.

I love this season so much
David Croft's commentary at its peak
1:20 beginning of Crofty commentary
This man should get a reward
Only for the intro, after that he can go and pleasure himself. But the intro... Yeah that is on another level.
I completely forgot this addition to the opening. Nostalgic though.
Such a brilliant intro, shame this season has been so one sided to have no drama like last season.
I'm sorry but this race reminds me of cars 3 when Cruz beat Jackson Storm to win the Florida 500 and I'm glad Max verstepen won the championship against Lewis Hamilton
this is a fucking classic
Turns out Masi was the one who wrote the story
You know what, im gonna say it.

esto es historiaaaaaaa
Poor Latifi
GOATIFI🔥🔥🔥
Spintifi
My favourite race
This day has crazy
Thats when benz cry boys didnt know whats gonna hit them 🤣
Yet was the biggest robbery in motorsport history.
Mad Max !!!
Should they have kept turn 9 the way it was ??? considering what Crofty says
GOATifi
Can we see the drama like this season again?
Very maybe 2023,now that everyone probaly understands the 2022 regulations. Everyone should be closer together. Redbull Ferrari and mercedes to find a way to the top
@jeffreytenthije Not when Max got 19 race wins. Interesting fact the development of RB19 was delayed by the 2021 season and AD 21.
Who else is here after the Hamilton to Ferrari news?
Unfortunately in italy they have not trasmitted this intro
I hate skysport italy
Get in there Lewis
Ah ha Yes
Get job with the strategy
Ah So Sorry Guys

Shame this was tainted by FIA's "human error".. this would have been amazing to look back on if they ended it with a 3 lap shoot out after a red flag

so you mean the button?
Why do we allow more than 1 team manage by the same people? Mercedes and Williams? Red Bull and Alphatauri? Ferrari and Haas? Is the same as Barcelona B plays in the same league with Barcelona
