Max Verstappen I'm coming for u
Incredible editing man! Seen this a million times. Can't wait for the 2022 video when Max takes his second 🤞
Idiots by Joe King u herd it
@@tedfloyd1961 he commented it only 2 months ago with max verstappen having a far lead over any competitor and even though at some points the ferrari cars seemed strong reliability was a big issue which took them out of contention mercedes having inssues with their cars and are far off the pace which meant it was a logical assumption and no where near a good guess as it will a very high outcome he would win
This is better than DTS alone, wow!
😏
legit stole what I was gonna say!
Exactly what I was thinking
This is an absolute masterpiece
For real! This has no fake bullshit!
I have lost count of how many times I have watched this. Checo dramatically checking his mirrors time and again trying to keep Hamilton behind gives me goosebumps. It’s no less than two fighter pilots going hard in a dog fight! What a season that was!
Yeah, me too! The defensive driving is brilliant AND excellent team play - big respect for Checo and a big help for Max✌️.
Every time I see this goosebumps
I have the video downloaded
@@ericgelders In the end, Sergei did not help Max at all. Lewis had a 20 second lead on the last lap. Latifi did. oh, and Masi, and FIA, and DTS fanbois. Now go ahead and tell me Max deserved it.

@@michaelhutchinson2854 I swear total dick move
What happened with max in brazil last year?
@@shaikh.sulaimso basically, Checo and max swapped places on the last lap and the deal was if max couldn’t catch the car in front before the last few turns, which I believe it was Alonso, he’d let Checo back through. But, Max ignored the orders and crossed the line, and that basically prevented Checo from getting P2 in the driver’s championship that year.
Rumors had spread that it was Checo who intentionally spun in Monaco qualifying earlier in the year to prevent max from getting pole, so that was Max getting back at Checo in a way.
There will never be another F1 or sporting moment like the last lap in Abu Dhabi. Everything that had to align for it all to come down to that.. mind blowing
Yes, the stars definitely aligned for Max that evening !
Michael Masi made sure that that everything aligned
@@markvorster3921 He did. It was still up to VER to get the move done on HAM but as HAM realised he could not stop the move from happening & nor could he afford to take himself out of the race (risking a collision). It was an absolutely epic finish to an epic race & to an epic season !
calm down dont get ahead of yourself like that
“sporting moment” lmao world cup exists
@@JustKamiTM Yes, starts in a week. Wasn't that 2019 final a crazy game!?
That Moment, at 5:25 when Max appeared on screen behind Checo gave me Gossebumps. Checo is and will be a f*** Legend!
i remember i cried! LOL
I f!kn LOVE checo for that
A bunch of us friends got together to watch the finale and I bet the neighbors thought that there was some emergency with screamed our throats out raw for those few seconds.
Checo is a LEGNED.!!! i was shocked at this moment.. didnt believe my eyes.!!
Check Max's bitch legand no
Abu Dhabi 2021 will be forever remembered as a tale from fiction turned to reality
Who could've ever predicted the final would start in equal points
Exactly ! With an epic Netflix drama at the end because now it's okay to overwrite the rules if we can get a great show 👍🏼

This is incredible. 👏👏👏
When Max drifited on the last corner, under that much pressure was unbelievable

I’m not still over this race! Takes great sportsmanship to tap Max’s shoulder after a tragic ending for oneself!
Lol
dude hes sulked and didnt park on the pit straight
It was never Max his fault and everyone knows that including all the bosses
I honestly love Lewis for that, despite everything, he still had the strength to congratulate his rival, honestly somewhat inspiring even
@@polodok9988i remember when Lulu also had the strength to send Max into a hospital in Silverstone and then celebrate it as his biggest win. That man inspires you ?
Also Merc could have just pit. Lulu made alot of mistakes in 2021 Max didnt. Someone who watched the entire season knows that Max is the deserved champion. Merc played dirty in multiple races like Silverstone and Hungary and they got away with it.
Max didn't make the rules, he just race! HISTORICAL!!!
It was Red Bull that put pressure on Massie and it was Red Bull that suggested breaking the race regulations, knowing full well what they were. Isn't inciting people to do something contrary to applicable regulations tantamount to fraud?
Hamilton was just trying to race too. Unfortunately, he was not allowed to do so.
@@jakubnowicki6183 The thing is, every single team cheats in F1. you think mercedes never cheated in the years of dominance they had?
F1 is about getting ahead of everyone else. If the roles would of reversed, mercedes would of asked for that lap to. It's just racing
@@jakubnowicki6183 "Michael please no safety car..please not."
14 minutes better than hours and hours of DTS well done!
yep
Sorry - I see it a good amount in this comment section. What's DTS?
@@andyodley5200 DTS (Drive To Survive) is the Netflix series that focuses on what happens on and off track during the season. The editing and pacing of this short film is better put together than DTS as Drive To Survive is notorious for misinterpreting moments and quotes by drivers and team principals to fit their imagines storylines. In some cases, radio messages of a driver were imposed on an episode based on an entirely different event or race. This is why we agree this short film is superbly made.
@@BishalKhan01 yea thanks, I feel kind of dumb now. I've never had an interest in Drive to Survive I've not watched it. But I'd not heard of it refered to as DTS before. Been watching this sport since the 98 season. Never felt as out the loop as I did this morning.
What is DTS stand for?
Perez pulled of one of the most impressive stunts in history by holding up lewis like that. What a drive that was!
@A. H. and the Honda engine roaring in front of him.
"Equal engines, but not Honda" "GP2 engine" my ass.
It's one of the most overlooked details of this race given the final lap's controversy. Put yourself back in that moment - after Max couldn't make the overtake after everything Checo did. It was heartbreaking at the time. Little did we know.
@@kyaryi1 did those comments piss you off? At the time those descriptions were more than accurate…
Not to mention retaking to get ahead of Lewis a few times. Beast mode.
@@kyaryi1 Who made that comment - I never heard that one before? Honda are legit.

Biggest robbery of all time
Legitimately seeing that last lap on tiktok is what got me into f1.
The best sporting event I have ever watched.
This was probably the most exciting sport season and ending I have ever seen. Still gives me goosebumps.
A shame the stewards screwed it so badly though.
@@ollieo7038 at least we got action and not a 2012 repeat

On paper yeah but as soon as the safety car was out I knew Max would overtake him. Look at the way he took off in the 3rd sector, a whole second
2008 was way more nail bitting. lewis won it on the last 2 corners. even ferrari crew thought theyve won lol
The engineers in the garage lost their marbles when Max executed that overtake. Pure passion in their eyes. It means as much to them as it does to Max. Truly phenomenal to watch!!!

MANIPULATION
Most tainted & corrupted championship as far back as I remember!
Hamiltons’s wholesome congratulations and a smile on face for the interview made me felt like he took so much of a hit himself just to make those moments so much happier for everyone else, what an incredible human.
Poor man, what an unfair conclusion to his incredible performance that day
Maeenn....totally agree. imagine over that last lap, he yelled at the radio..This is being manipulated maenn!!!!......so imagine the emotion inside after losing like that, then to calm down regardless and still stand tall even when Im sure he felt like just getting out of the car and probably walking off....Thats hard grit..I give it to him, not easy to do that especially with the adrenaline, the immense emotion and even anger.....But for any fan especially the impartial ones; considering he had dominated it so much over the years, regardless this was probably the most exciting finish in years...and for Max to emerge as the new champion was almost a relief.....it kind of signified what it took to get Hamilton off his perch, you had to go past your comfort zone, duel with luck, and even then still it didnt seem enough, Max still had to exploit the opportunity when it presented itself. Fair play to both guys but what a finale!!!!!!
Dont really like hamilton but he handled it really well. He knew it wasn't max's fault.
@@brianb1684fair play to both guys? LH was literally robbed! Your bias is astounding. You were relieved he lost it and didn’t care much about the fairness.
You just type to type. No substance in your words.
@@izieky Fair play to both guys for such an outstanding season.... Hamilton being literally robbed does not change the result. I think you should read my comment again before saying I was relieved he lost it (this is emotion jagging your nerves).... I said "for the impartial fans..." Type to type is why its a public comment forum.... And saying no substance in my words does not make you a bigger person... You are just another random keyboard warrior somewhere in the world just like I am. So type away as you can and go ballistic.... Still won't change the 2021 result.... Hamilton as Hamilton though still has a chance to shape his future.
Still goosebumps watching it. What a night. One of the best F1 seasons ever.
That night made Checo into Mexican Minister of Defense! He’s also a legend! He’s always been reliable, always and is humble. Glad he’s at RB now where he can showcase his talent and expertise throughout his years at the F1.
And that's why his car failed him and max his car went all the way 2 the finish.....

That shot of Max at 12:29 lifting his visor and revealing the tears on his face that've been hiding under the helmet. The emotion of becoming a world champion after driving your heart out in an underpowered car all season.

Every time I watch that last lap, I remember exactly where I was, near drunk af in a hotel hollering by myself while all the homies were asleep because I knew I was watching history. My heart shares the same effect, that lap itself is a stimulant ffs.
must have been a hell of a night then 😂
same here

The rest is history.
Horner won the race with his phone call to Masi. Seriously.. that was the influence that changed the ending.
@@sheetsbybrendan2155 The amount of times Red Bull was screwed by calls evened out. I am no red bull or Mercedes fan, but it correctly evened out.
@@sheetsbybrendan2155 did you realize that Massi decission in lap 56 was to not unlap backmarkers?
it was in lap 56.
i'll say it again... LAP 56.
if at that moment, backmarkers would've been allowed to unlap, yet race would have been restarted at end of lap 57... with no backmarkers in the middle.
just as it happened, but with less drama.
It's time to realise and accept that Massi's first "action" was to benefit Mercs, and then accepted his controversial "mistake" and corrected for good, giving the season the end it deserved.
@@sheetsbybrendan2155 Mercedes lost the race by not boxing Lewis for soft tyres, he had the pace!
@@sheetsbybrendan2155 I'm still amazed how people will still grasp at that straw like it's gonna change any perception of Red Bull and FIA. May I remind you that the first person in Masi's ears was Toto Wolff, demanding that the safety car would NOT be released despite Latifi literally being stranded on the racing line?
I was hoping for Max to win it but Lewis impressed me deeply. How he acted after the race was pure class. He did everything he could, made no mistake and still it was taken from him - and still he was a real sportsman
Lewis acted like a spoiled kid all season long. When Lewis crashed someone of track the PR team allways comes up with dirt on a competitor driver to deflect media attention. And the journalists buy it every time. Slavery, racism are serious subjects not to be 'miss used' for deflection of media to boost Lewis his image/brand.
I was never a Lewis fan and am still not but that day the way he handled himself, got mad respect for him. Incredible. Huge respect.
It’s Monday 14th August 2023, and why am I watching this again? The excitement of the end of this race will never leave me. Max was destined for this moment and thank you Michael Masi for letting them race. Toto “no Michael noooooo 😮” can do one! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The image of Max on his knees, alongside the wheel of his RBR, together with Vettel bowing to the car, in India 2013, will be forever in my mind.
The image of him worshipping Michael Masi?

This was just picture perfect end.
Incredible..

It have NOTHING to do with the drivers, it was just a very emotionally damaged person (because of the pressure of the whole season), making the biggest mistake of his life.
It's just sad.
Honestly as a Lewis and Mercedes fan i wont forget in my lifetime this epic season 2021 it was just 🔥 But truely Max deserved to win the Championship because he was on a mission and how Lewis and Team turned the 2nd half of the season was incredible and it ended a little weird with that decision but it is what it is and its written in the history of F1 for ever✨

@@rodbattler9420you mean the faking of reliability of the Mercedes engines, so they could fit a new engine every two races with 50bhp more? They needed that to get Lewis near Max. They bend the rules also, just like Masi did. It’s called karma.
@@Cubicinches432 I was referring to the FIA breaking the rules just to fit a narrative. RBR cheated , it's a well known fact. I don't know about Mercedes being able to fit a different engine into a car. You must be working in their garage to make this kind of allegations..
The first VSC where Max stopped for new hards was the most overlooked event in that race and was absolutely crucial for how Max won it in the end because it meant Hamilton couldn’t stop for new tyres when Latifi crashed
And Checo closing the distance between Lewis and Max also meant that there wasn’t a safe enough window for Lewis to pit for softs after the Latifi crash wither
The fact alone, that Red Bull even won this race is an absolute miracle. Mercedes pace was just out of this world the last few races since brazil
Exactly absolutely every move that Red Bull made that race was crucial to win. The new tires under vsc, Checo creating a smaller gap between Lewis and Max and then getting the final pitstop under sc. Without one of them Lewis would have had a gap to do a pitstop and Max would have never won.
You guys are right, however you all miss one thing, allowing only certain cars to get in the same lap with the leader ;)

10:00 ‘this is it.. this is it’ gave me goosebumps, you know everything comes down to this final lap and it has to happen there. You gotta remember, sure Max was on far better tires, but he’s still gotta do it in that lap. You could hear it in their voice it was all or nothing
Super Max, he did what he promised himself.
I was about to comment this is it
you should hear the isolated real time audio with just the garage screaming behind GP while he says this, legendary stuff
6:40 the kingsman text with the slogan makes it even more funny. Man on a mission he was.
Something no one seems to talk about because they're focusd on the last lap restart - Hamilton was harvesting going into the first braking zone, i dont think he expected Max to come down the inside at all that corner. Despite the announcers saying "Hamilton sees it coming" he definitely didnt.
Don’t they always harvest under braking? That’s why the brakes cook themselves if the MGU-K fails.
no matter how many times I watch this I always get goosebumps. forever a legendary moment.
We all knew the overtake would come on that last lap, it just depended on how Lewis would defend it. He could not & it was "game over" at that moment. Oh for the glory of sport !!!

I know by heart the voice snippets, I have burned into my memory Max's overtake, and yet I see it all again beautfully edited like this and it STILL gets me excited. The season could not have been better had it been concocted by a bunch of writers in Hollywood and if someone had tried to write that ending they would have been fired for trying to sell something too fantastic to be true, and yet it happened before our very eyes.
You can write man. Should do more with it...
@@PAULSWorld131 He covered it in his first sentence 'I don't understand it yet'.
The rules were changed for the final lap of the final race of the season, so the faster car/driver combination on the day lost. It would not have happened had the rules been applied.
@@darrenowen3338 The racedirector had legal, full authority by the rulebook to make the decision to let only a part of all the backmarkers pass the raceleader. This was fully legal at that time. It could have been also the other way, if Max had led the race at that moment, would not have pitted under the safetycar, and Lewis would have been in Max's position with new tires. Mercedes were very afraid to pit Lewis, and lose the nr 1 lead position. They made a decision, they made a gamble, which they lost. This is sport, and had nothing to do with 'not followiing the rulebook. RB pitted Max for new tires, and Mercedes didn't. This is the only reason why Mercedes did lost the championship. If it would have been the other way around, Mercedes would never had complained about the racedirector's decision, and would have been happy to have won the championship.
@@darrenowen3338 The rule was, the racedirector had the authority to overrule the rulebook on very specific matters. That's what he did at that moment, and it was fully legal. You can't blame RB or Max for a racedirector intervention which was not illegal at that time. For Max it was just safetycar situation, pitting, and getting new fresh softs. Mercedes bailed out, and that made them lose the championship. And Max a deserved winner.
@@PAULSWorld131 so is it merc or fia that are in faults? im so confused since that race.

I started watching F1 during this season. I was always a Hamilton fan, and to a point I still am. However, seeing this race live was probably one of the most beautiful moments in motorsport ever. I will never forget watching this. This was the peak example of what F1 is about - the sheer bravery of drivers going neck and neck, fighting for inches in milliseconds.
Wow, that final lap scene was like a final boss battle where the 7 time world champion was finally toppled, but not giving up without a fight at 11:09
Murray Walker loved an underdog winning over the dominant force, like when Schumacher took the fight to the Mclarens, he would have loved this!

This will likely never happen again. What an ending, what a season. Checo absolutely brilliant.
ANYTIME ANYWHERE ANYHOW I WATCH THIS I GET GOOSEBUMPS ALWAYS 🔥🔥🔥
I’ve seen this race so many times and it still makes me emotional everytime🚶🏽
Whenever I feel down I watch this last lap, I feel ya on that.
Man… im a Hamiltons fan and everytime that I watch this i feel anxiety and adrenaline running on my veins.
That must've been so tough to watch.
Not gonna lie, I also had an adrenaline rush, but for the opposite reasons.
@@tuffmanchannel when i saw max overtake I honestly started to shout and when he crossed the line I was shouting so much i was just like "OH MY FUCKING GODDDDDDDDDD MAX HAS WON"
@@240hzGaming Yeah, I had a friend over and we were shouting so much. I even took a video to commemorate the moment lol
@@tuffmanchannel I was shocked I didn’t watch until the last lap cause I wanted max to win so fucking bad
Im a Verstappen fan, and man i feel absolutely the same way. I still get nervous everytime.
Thanks to Massi we could se such a dramatic final lap irrespective who won..
I am not a diehard F1 fan by any means. I am a sportscar racing fan until the end. But this edit is awesome and captures such a crazy moment in F1 history that will probably never be repeated. Excellent work!
I’m team Max but I physically feel the pain for Hamilton here. Must have hurt so much I can’t imagine what he went through
Lewis fan here ,, can't imagine Hamilton feeling afterwards coZ it was so so heartbreaking and so painful to take it , the scenarios that happened .
@@kheyrrrh7088 Keep crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣 team orders, rosberg supports max , which driver loves Hamilton, no one, such a salty loser that he didn't even attend the ceremony
Meh, he's had several WDCs gifted to him because he drove the fastest F1 car in history. I'm sure he'll survive losing to the guy who led more than twice the number of laps he did during that season.
@@quigglyz meh im sure if they were gifted youd be able to replicate it then
He’s has a net worth of close to a billion dollars and has driven elite cars his entire career, I think he’ll manage
This is probably the best edit I have ever seen of that particulair race. Must have been so much work… Netflix should hire you! Keep up the good work mate, more views and subs will come soon👊

This was the best day in my Life so far
Thank you Michael Masi for enabling the best sporting moment in history. You sacrificed a lot for us all.
🤡
@@joeyboli you got an anime pfp tryna clown on someone 😭 get off lil kid
I had never heard that clip of Max’s interview at the end. The awareness of the sacrifices and human cost (the marriage and his sister missing her dad) are really mature comments from Max. He felt the cost and the emotion of the victory brought forth the awareness of what everyone did for him rather than just focusing on himself. Full respect to Max for acknowledging that.
I don't know which TV channel u used to watch the last race of 2021, but at ziggo ( Dutch TV station) Max told this in a interview even before he was racing in f1. He knows how his dad put absolutely everything he had into his career. I think that's why he is fighting so hard and aggressive. But set aside all the personal drama, 'this guy' is just a racing God. Hamilton knew it and belittled him from start to finish same as the sky News team. But now all of a sudden max is way more mature??? Naaa, slowly he get the credits Niki laudi, and so many more ex f1 drivers gave him already
@@787Martin I am in the U.S. so I watch the Sky Sports UK feed that ESPN picks up. For the record, I am a massive fan of Max. I think he is the best driver I’ve seen since Alonso (who I think is the best since Senna).
@@787Martin I agree that Sky is biased to the Brits. It’s frustrating but that’s all I can watch here in the States. BTW, my name is Juan, nice to meet you Martin.

I have seen the season. I have seen the race. I have seen the last lap. I know how it ends. And still goosebumps.
Man how i miss this season... and these cars...
Goosebumps every time i am watching this…
I remember almost turning it off after 20min, could not handle the Mercedes speed. But OMG am I happy I had a chance to watch this live.
Me too😱
Same 😄
This race had so many emotions the whole race trough, shouting, raging, tears of joy. Wish every race is like this one!
you can see the tears pouring out from max's eyes in that close up. the emotion in this sport is unreal
you can think about michael masi whatever you want, but this "toto. its called a motor race, okay? we went car racing." is one of the most badass answers from any sports official in any sport. Period.
too bad he was basically made the scapegoat and got blamed for everything that went wrong.
The FIA should bring him back for 2026.
Thank you Max and thank you Lewis for giving us one of the best seasons we have ever seen. What a spectacle, what a batlle between two giants. Hope we will see it again in 2023.
Ferrari could not do it, a 4-time world champion could not do it. A "drinks company" did it, a boy "too rash" did it, a "GP2 engine" did it, they ended the Mercedes rule.
A DRINK company with a GP2 ENGINE being driven by a "IMMATURE boy" with 0 championships brought one of the MOST DOMINANT RUNS in F1 history to an END .
@@medipeace307 wht dou mean gp2 engine? honda was on power for all except last 4 races
@@arindhamaggarwal3015 When Honda was with Mclaren, Alonso called the engine a "GP2 engine" because it was very slow back then.

Go watch dts 10 year old, it's better for you
This deserves far more attention than it gets at this moment.
I will remember this race for the rest of my life.
Easily the MOST INTENSE F1 season of Hamilton's career. Who ever said Ham was "tired" was obviously not paying attention. Disappointed Abu Dhabi ended in controversy, but Max absolutely deserved it.
There is no controversy. It was a disgrace. Masi fucked that one up real good. Of course Verstappen was deserving, but he didnt do it. Shameful day for F1
@@markuss4133lol if even in 2023 you still believe it was a shameful day for f1, you are not a fan of motor racing. ayrton senna, by YOUR measure, should be the biggest shame of all in the history of f1! and go ahead, i welcome you to finding someone who agrees with you! 🙄🙄🙄
max absolutely deserves the championship and the race win. shunt and safety car turning a race upside down have been part of motor racing for as long as there was a motor racing. at 23, being able to drive one lap the way he did, max is indeed super max. LH fans (some of them) are just toxic. whatever they believe may have "helped", they always fail to recognize all the "help" LH and merc got throughout the season, and the fact that it took a super talent and mental fortitude to perform the way max did under such pressure! people who never give due credits have no credibility, period.
@@tiax1592 yeah of course it was also shameful. Like the stunts Schumacher pulled. You think to be a fan is thinking otherwise 🤔 they were all great drivers like Max is now. I can separate that. You clearly do not
Don‘t mix Max‘s performance with what happened in that race, he is maybe the most talented driver ever (definitely one of the most talented ever) but the win in Abu Dhabi was handed to him because according to F1 rules, you have to let all lapped cars pass or let no lapped cars pass, you can‘t deliberately chose and say we are going to let some lapped cars pass and others don‘t, thats simply not fair to the other drivers as well. Masi broke the rules to artificially create a racing ending which should have been exciting but what excitement is there when one car is on 40laps old hard tires and the other one is on fresh soft? Even the Alpha Tauri would have overtaken Lewis in that case. Also Mercedes could have pitted but how should they know that Masi would break the rules and let only the lapped cars between RB and Merc pass, because if everything went according to the rules, the race would have ended under the safety car and then Mercedes would have lost track position so considering everything goes by the rules it would have been very stupid to pit. Masi broke two rules that day (Which the FIA also admitted to btw.) and that handed Max and easy win.
The purest form of sporting entertainment in the world.
Even though Albon lost his seat he gave everything he could to the team and was arguably the happiest for Max
Lol I think so to. He REALLY helped RB and Max with his work behind the scenes, also a legend in my book 👍
It was not albon on the radio, it was max engineer.
it wasnt Albon , it was GP
It absolutely was Albon, not sure why you people think it was GP. GP is way more professional and doesn't sound anything like Albon. Albon was celebrating like a friend would. He lost his mind and I loved it. There is this narrative put out by some that Verstappen is unlikeable but the other young drivers do like him. It is clear to see.
Not Albon. He said so himself. “That Wasn’t Me” - Alex Albon Discloses Secret Behind Popular Abu Dhabi GP Moment
This was the day I became a fan of Formula 1. I watch every race and qualifying now. Completely unforgettable this race was.
Oh you joined in at the right time. Formula 1 was so dull the last 3 seasons prior to 2021.
I put my missus through her first season in 2020. She watched me cheer for max, then watched me get dejected when he lost. To experience the 2021 season going blow for blow together was exhilerating. And it was one of the best overall seasons in history. Welcome to the Paddock friend.
@@Formula1WRLD nah it was amazing for me as a Lewis fan since 2013
Yeah..me too...
This STILL gives mee goosebumps! That slide in de last corner from Max is just awesome!
the most brilliant piece of karmiac justice.
Watching this again today after Max winning his second WC. The 2021 season was probably the most intense season, I remeber watching these moments live. Comparing it to 2022 its not the same. Still good to watch, but the 2021 season was something different. Hope some season in the future will be like 2021.
There won't be another season like this. Highly doubt it.
It's crazy how you can see at 12:28 that Verstappen was crying tears of joy after winning the champion ship (you can see tears on his face after he opens the visor.
He wasn't alone.
I also cried watching him drive to his well deserved title. As did many others around the world I believe.
@@kyaryi1 I nearly got a heart attack from all the excitement, so that's a bit of a different reaction, haha :P Had given up hope at that point, and then that last lap happened... wow. This championship year definitely got the ending it deserved.
It was sweat not tears.
@@Ali-qo8xknah it were tears, the guy worked for this since the day he was born togethet with his father & mother. Such a passion and drive.
@@Ali-qo8xkEven if it was, it's impossible he didn't have tears😂
This is my favorite vid on RUclips… I watch it maybe a couple 13-14 times a year and I always cheer and watch with intent passion.
😝clearly you are not a Hamilton fan if you watch it and cheer.
Still vividly remember that moment, such a roller coaster of emotions, my eyes were dripping tears the moment max crossed the finish line, truly an incredible moment that was
I remember watching this race and never giving up, just hoping that fate for once would intervene on Max's side and in the end it did. This is something that will be with me forever because everyone, including me, saw history being made
Man I remember watching the race with the same mindset, I was hoping that everything went well for Hamilton, I mean it did, but yeah sadly it's just wasn't for us
@@jwork5680 Yea just a few laps before latifi did his thing I went to get a glass of water and my mind just thought wow Hamiltons got this there is no way he loses
@@someone6094 yeah i was screaming like crazy when they decided to have one racing lap
am i the only one who can't enjoy the win if something illegal happened? ahha

Still getting goosebumps by Checo's amazing driving!🏁🇲🇽
It must hurt when you win 7 worldchampionships and your opponent who wins his first is already considered better than hamilton ever was..MAX GOAT
I can only describe this a captivatingly breathtaking
Best movie script never written. Still tears in my eyes when I see this back. One of the greatest sport days in my life
Amen🙏🏻🇳🇱
It was a script alright, they stole Lewis' title. People will remember Max like they remember Prost in 89... the man who with the help of the FIA race director stole Senna's 4th title. It's ok though, Max will get his karma like Michael Schumacher got his, one or another. No one outside the Netherlands views Max as a legitimate champion.

13:18 Great sportsmanship despite how escalated things became between the two. Lewis knows this wasn't Max's fault and holds no grudges against him. Regardless of our opinions, they've moved on and so should we.
It was nobody's fault and this should always be cherished as a highight in F1 history!
Fault of what? You fking clown. Mercedes had TWO chances to pit and had the best car. It’s arguable that even after losing track position on the last lap Lewis could’ve still won with new tyres
Go cry somewhere else. MAX VERSTAPPEN WORLD CHAMPION 2021 🎉 🎉
@@RealRyanG0sling nobody is crying right now
actually even now Mercedes and Lewis are always trying to go against RB and Max, they don't understand that they should work on their car and don't think about someone who has a 100 pts advantage
