Side Note: Max finished P1 or P2 all his races except when he was taken out in Silverstone, his tyre blew up in Baku and got hit by Bottas in Hungary. He deserves the title no matter what people say.
I’m a lewis fan and I’ve been busy through out the season so I don’t remember half of it but watching this shows how close max came so so many times but then just something happens. What a great season though
I've watched the 2007, 2008, 2010, 2012 seasons live. The best seasons I've personally experienced. Lots of emotions, controversies, scandals, etc.. And this 2021 season was right up there, maybe even be the best season I've ever seen. Thanks Max and Lewis for this awesome Battle all out the season! F1 is Love!
to be fair, i dont think he did it on purpose. it would require a considerable amount of processing power to predict the trajectories of all the cars involved. And he's not that kind of driver.
Yes I am a Max fan but I am not enjoying this season as much as the 2021 season. I do think that I enjoyed the 2021 season a bit more due to the results after such a great battle. But yeah it was really one of the moste intense seasons in the history of F1.

He should know he is the boss of Mercedes team and not that of formula 1 . Horner requesting for racing to continue is also equally condemnable . But Toto crossed all the limits . The guys is a real cry baby
@@megarafjogos Seeing this top 10 edit , It's evident that Lewis Hamilton was protected by Masi & FIA throughout the season . From cutting corners in Bahrain to causing devastating crashes in Silverstone . his teammate took out Verstappen at Hungary . He got lucky with the Red flags . He just got a tiny punishment for running illegal car in Brazil . Even in the final race at Abudhabi he gained an unfair advantage at lap 1 which went unpunished . Benefiting all these throughout the year , Masi and FIA became redbull agents after the safety car . What a Mess 🤣
And it wouldn't have happened if Lewis hadn't pitted that early. He had a lot of great laps left in those mediums, would've taken a second per lap on Max with his hards. And he only needed 10 seconds more to have a free pit on Checo... First mistake by Mercedes team that sunday
@@hubabava Hamilton was more than just unlucky, he was the victim of a wrongheaded decision which put the show above the sport. He didn’t deserve to lose the title that way - nor would Verstappen had the roles been reversed. Exactly. Had race direction Happy for Verstappen, but the FIA really didn’t wanna let Hamilton wins… the race. I think the results were manipulated
Max is the most aggressive driver I’ve ever seen. He doesn’t yield anything ever. I truly believe that some of his crashes were simply to tell the other drivers that if they want to stay in the race they better yield cause he’s not going to.
@@Gigantopithecus69 There are so many variables to the championship though, with Lewis having a great bit of luck to even make it a close fight. Bottas punting Max at that race start which majorly damaged his car so he only got to around 8th losing massive points, Hamilton being allowed to unlap himself because of the red flag from Russell and Bottas which was a major point swing, and of course Verstappen's tire exploding. Not even factoring in Silverstone it was only a close fight in the end because of a fair amount of luck.
My favorite sport, very thrilling and keeps you on your seats edge. Following since nearly 25 years. My favorite is of course Michael Shumaker, what a gentle person, i wish to see the day he is on his feet. Thanks for sharing Satya. Hoping all is well. Stay blessed always. 🙏🙏🙏
A lot of people have also forgot about the immediate red flag that came from that incident, VERY conveniently for Lewis Hamilton who had just went off the track into the gravel only seconds before and had dropped to 9th and counting until the red flag.
When Bottas was told to take out the 2 Red Bulls. I also love how Lewis tried to claim Max brake checked him when he could have easily gone past at any point.
People say anything on the internet, don't worry. If correct rules were used, Lewis would be champion. Still I am happy for Max, because I love controversy!
Max’s tire blowout was so unfortunate, and then for Hamilton to hit his magic button… we really were destined for the championship lap, given all the crazy stuff that happened
One of the few championships that I have lived in sync while they happen. That legendary duel of a whole season of the young promise against the absolute legend, a whole season full of mixed emotions. It had the best ending anyone could imagine. One of the best seasons I've ever seen.
would have been the best ending if it wasnt decided by a late SC tbh, they both deserved it. the SC was only nice for verstappen fans tbh and they'll defend it with their lives
@@manbroBE Lewis could have made a pitstop but he didn't. If he would have done a pitstop I'm sure that Lewis would have won the championship. He had a chance but he just didn't take it. So as a Verstappen fan I am of course very happy with the result but I do think that both drivers had equal chances in this race.
As someone who didn’t grow up watching Senna and Prost for example fighting for the championship I have to say that this was by far the best season I’ve ever seen and I’m so glad that we have those two guys in the sport giving it all they’ve got. Amazing!!
@@Tegneaufreak The FIA back then had a name: Jean Marie Balestre. If Senna wasn't disqualified for taking the wrong way for rejoining the track in '89, he would've been dq'ed for an illegal push-start. In any way, a frenchman made sure a frenchman won that season. Sometimes, that's F1 too.
In 30-40 years, I think the fans not around now will look back on this era in the same way we who weren't around for Senna/Prost look back at that era.
@@sgthulk9 except that's not the case, even if you give Senna the win in Suzuka, he would still need to win in Adelaide which he of course didn't because he crashed out. So prost deserved that championship
Looking back at it 2021 was such a messy season for merc they were so lucky to even be in contention at AD, and tbf that was mostly down to crashing out the competition
Now I think to understand what people want to say when they talk about the intense Senna-Prost duels for the championship or what Formula 1 was and how it really should be. Now I understand that if you didn't watch these things in real-time, you simply missed it forever because everything else only gives 1/100th of the insane rollercoaster of emotions you felt in those moments.
@@TheEathos Right, when I was a child I watched F1 from 2002 until 2006 and I always taught those moments as the best I ever watched. Now I'm watching it again since 2017 and every year confirmed this until this season changed my mind. I hope we'll watch something like this with the new rules more often.
@@blumehao I hope we'll watch these things more often to not consider this season an "exception that confirms the rule" and to not fight back with a Toto style answer "No friend, no, no friend! This is so not right!" hahaha :P
Definitely needs a Part II. Max Brazil move, Checo defenses against Lewis, Alonso defense, Lewis solo grid start, Valtteri pitstop mess, all shock podiums/victories by other than Lewis-Max-Valtteri. Plus probably more. Extremely great season.
@@syyeung That's why he sent a personal request to Masi to let the cars by on the last lap in Abu Dhabi. Didn't want to take a championship that was rightfully Max's.
This was a great season that had it all. But I'm glad Leclerc and Verstappen are racing different against each other then Hamilton and Verstappen. It's nice to see them getting along and having respect for each other.
Yeah, even though Max is my first pick, i do feel bad for Leclerc when he's got bad luck again. If Leclerc went to Red Bull, i think he might beat Max to the championship, as Max doesn't really battle with Leclerc, but Leclerc is more willing to start the duels, kinda like Max would with Hamilton. Then again, every time Leclerc retires, it means Max is getting extra points, so it's kind of a double feeling.
@@Games_and_Music I hope that he doesn't get any bad luck anymore. We need him to keep the championship Interresting. Max is learning that it takes 23 races to win the championship so he tries to battle Leclerc, but isn't taking to much risks. But same for Leclerc. They have the same age, background and they are both really fast. They are used to racing like they do. Hamilton wasn't last year and when things don't go like Hamilton plans you get a championship like last year.
you could’ve added this moments to the list -fernando’s amazing defense against hamilton -ocons first f1 victory -ricciardo winning again in monza -leclerc dns in monaco -perez’s brilliant defense against hamilton i mean this season was full of drama and i’m sure i didn’t mention some other epic moments 😝
@@lynn6800 Not really though, that was entirely his fault. Its one thing to drive fast but it's also another thing to keep your car on the track and not crash
Man it’s crazy that 1) McLaren clearly trust Lando enough to let him make the call on tire choice, 2) just how rude he was to his race engineer when asked about it, and 3) for all that, he made utterly the wrong choice. And even still he’s their golden boy.
in all fairness lando was completely under tons of pressure and adrenaline, they had already asked him prior and he said no, and then he completely owned his mistake lando is a huge talent they just need to tailor the car to him a little better and get that car to be competitive and lando could be taking podiums
Also the last update he got from the team was the rain would stay the same rather than getting heavier which he felt he would have managed. I think there was just too much pressure between the garage and Lando therefore the team didn't give him the latest info. In contrast, Lewis also wanted to stay out but trusted the team's call from the weather forecast.
Totally. Someone who drives fiercely like Ayrton has finally come, and enjoying it to the fullest. Waited too long for this. If he gets a slight bit of space, he will go for it all the time. Love to see it.
He tries to influence ("manipulate" lol) stewards. Experience with the system and giving it his best to win on all fronts. That's ok, now just has to lose with a little more grace as well if that's the persona he wants to create for his legacy. If he would spend a little less time with the politics of it all and his future I think he might be happier though, but who knows.
Absolutely fantastic montage!!! Few key things that could have been included: Ocons P1, Alonso's defense. Perez hunting down Bottas at Paul Ricard, Daniel's Shoey, "Ask him to defend like a lion" from Alonso, Alonso podium, Perez defending at Abu Dhabi, Bottas longest pitstop at Monaco...to name a few!!!
To all the people who say Lewis was robbed in Abu Dhabi. Just look at this video, how often Max got robbed. So all in all: Max maybe didn't deserve to win in Abu Dhabi but he Cleary deserved to be world champion this year!
@@me-xe9sg he had a small chance in both those years especially with multiple contenders. Although i miss the lewis from McLaren. Mercedes is a annoying team and have a huge ego. Next year they need to be put in their place of pre-2014.
The resilience by Max to fight back even when the last few races weren’t going his way is incredible. Not to mention the fight Lewis put on to win multiple races in a row to get back in the championship. What a season. Can’t wait for next year.
Max will another and it will feel alot better than this championship. No natter what it's tarnished. Great season. Michael masi won it. 2 great racers go again next year. Must be frustrating for both of them
@@crazypats1227 If you think this season was tarnished you haven't been watching F1 for long. Maybe ping pong is a more perfect sport? Honestly there are calls made every year in F1 that drivers and teams object to but the race goes on. One driver can get a tire puncture and be out while another from behind wins the race. That's not a tarnished win. That's a win. Max may win another championship but he has not indicated he feels the least bit bad about this one. Seems pretty happy to me. There are rules of course and that all comes into play. We hope for perfect calls but it doesn't always happen.
I'm not I just got to witness how rules can just be manipulated in the name of excitement in this sport. Sure every sport is unfair in some way but at least they a more strict and consistent rulebook. Doubt i'll recommend to anyone.
Congratulations to this great F1 season 2021! That was epic! I've never seen such an amazing finale! Max Verstappen was back in a league of his own & he has been driving around the ears of all other F1 drivers since 2021! Max is the king of Formula 1! Congratulations to Max Verstappen and to the Red Bull Racing Team!
@@luku9065 it was kinda unfair because the race control said unlapped cars not to overtake but then they decided that they can overtake so kinda not fair.
Impressed that F1 managed to narrow it down into 10 considering how dramatic this whole season has been. Might as well throw the whole season in 😂😂. Thank u F1 2021 this will be a season we’ll never forget and probably talk about for 20 years

We will never forget this season, thank you max and lewis for bringing us along for the ride. Congrats max for the first title, may you win many more. And congrats to merc for your eight constructors title
@@Wolfywolf7 oh, missed that stream! Well, his behavior is understandable but yeah it kinda deminishes the other drivers, trust me many people do this in karting as well. bit btichy tho.
Silverstone: hamilton robbed max Hungary: bottas robbed max Baku: pirelli robbed max Monza: max and hamilton robbed eachother Abu dhabi: justice for everything before
Max only had bad luck all year, even Baku with both out was bad for him because he should have opened 11 points bud didn't got anything... And when Lewis made the mistake leaving the track and getting one lap behind, Bottas just crashed and he got back to the race for free.
8:20 I actually remember seeing this when it was live (on TV in passing), and not really looking into F1 at the time, was confused as to why it was a big deal. Clearly I was missing a lot of context.
This list could have had 15 or even 20 spots. There was so much drama, excitement and controversy this season. Can't wait to see what 2022 has in store.
You know the season was so exciting when you get pumped even just by watching the clips. Man i hope the field gets bunched closer next year. That season was one for the books!
I can clearly remember watching every single race with my best friend. Both rooting for Max. Doing the Math after every single one of the last 10 races on how it could turn out. Screaming, Yelling and laughing with every single event. And i do remember the feeling as a Max Fan when even Checos brilliant Defense couldnt get max close enough. And then the total disbelief that it might not be over yet when Latifi crashed.
Im not even gonna lie, I was cheering for Max during the entire season, mainly due to the fact that I was a bit bored with the absolute Mercedes dominance we have been seeing for the last few years, but seeing Lewis after that last lap, so close to history, and still accepting defeat in such a graceful way, publicly congratulating Max, his father, and Redbull, really makes me appreciate Lewis's growth as a person over the years. Wish him all of the best. Hopefully next season will give us some thrillers like the banger that was the 2021 season.
@@koko400gt Ah, so edgy. Surely Hamilton can take a little time off after a long season. Even more so when losing the title in such a controversial way. Respect a great driver instead of dickriding or jumping on the bandwagon just because you think it's cool. Sincerely, A dutch guy who is obviously a Max fan.
3:37 if I remember right, max is very lucky his car went to the right here because if it went left he would’ve been looking at a very fast side collision with the start of the pit wall
10:28 is an example of why being an F1 driver doesn't remove your responsibility to check your blindspots. SMH, I can do that on a driver's test and get a fail while Verstappen here be doing it as a professional driver...
@@huseyinerdem5376 what? without this huge help from perez verstappen dont win. Verstappen made up 7 seconds and was after the nice perez fight within the undercut window, which is usually 2 seconds.
@@Mike007_ It’s impossible to be certain how things would have played out in the run-up to the late safety car, and Hamilton could well have got back ahead and built a similar advantage to the one he had in the race that did happen, but what is certain is that the situation would have been different. It could very well have ensured Hamilton was able to close out the victory. I am not a lewis fan and i just see things unemonatiolly. Sure thing is taht FIA wanted max to win and they did the manupulation very cleverly.
Honorable mentions.. 1. Lewis winning in Sao Paolo from 25 place grid penalty 2. Bahrain Turn 4 overtake of Max on Lewis and then giving place back 3. Turn one of Imola between Max and Lewis 4. Lando pushing Perez off-track and Perez himself doing the same twice to Charles at Austria 5. P2 of George in Belgium qualification 6. Very successful Two stop and undercut strategy for Red Bull in France. 7. Lewis losing 4 places during Pit stop period and Bottas's wheel nut issue at Monaco. 8.

Alonso v lewis, helping Ocon win... All of lap 1 in Mexico Daniel taking out bottas, Lewis reversing on gravel in Italy n then going to win p2.. lol.theres so many

I love how the top 4 most dramatic moments are all ones involving Max and Lewis 4. Max and Lewis coming together at Saudi Arabia 3. Max and Lewis coming together at Italy 2. Max and Lewis coming together at Silverstone 1. The championship decider between Max and Lewis
Dont forget Lewis horrible braking habits where he gave up positions,...Namely at Azerbaijan where he failed the first corner as if he had no idea how to turn or slow down correctly, and when he left his self wide open for Max to move in during the last race and braked way too early allowing max to take the apex correctly and cut him off

Max’s tire blowout was so unfortunate, and then for Hamilton to hit his magic button… we really were destined for the championship lap, given all the crazy stuff that happened
One of the few championships that I have lived in sync while they happen. That legendary duel of a whole season of the young promise against the absolute legend, a whole season full of mixed emotions. It had the best ending anyone could imagine. One of the best seasons I've ever seen.
would have been the best ending if it wasnt decided by a late SC tbh, they both deserved it. the SC was only nice for verstappen fans tbh and they'll defend it with their lives
@@manbroBE Lewis could have made a pitstop but he didn't. If he would have done a pitstop I'm sure that Lewis would have won the championship. He had a chance but he just didn't take it. So as a Verstappen fan I am of course very happy with the result but I do think that both drivers had equal chances in this race.
@@Gigantopithecus69 Lewis had already gone past the pitlane when the yellows came out
@@Gigantopithecus69if he would of pitted, masi wouldnt of let the lapped cars overtake thats for sure
@@Gigantopithecus69idk if you guys are oblivious by choice or just plain dumb 😂😂😂😂
As someone who didn’t grow up watching Senna and Prost for example fighting for the championship I have to say that this was by far the best season I’ve ever seen and I’m so glad that we have those two guys in the sport giving it all they’ve got. Amazing!!
Imagine Twitter with Senna and Prost… mental. FIA was worse then also 😂
Imagine how toxic Social Media Would have been then lol
@@Tegneaufreak The FIA back then had a name: Jean Marie Balestre. If Senna wasn't disqualified for taking the wrong way for rejoining the track in '89, he would've been dq'ed for an illegal push-start. In any way, a frenchman made sure a frenchman won that season. Sometimes, that's F1 too.
In 30-40 years, I think the fans not around now will look back on this era in the same way we who weren't around for Senna/Prost look back at that era.
@@sgthulk9 except that's not the case, even if you give Senna the win in Suzuka, he would still need to win in Adelaide which he of course didn't because he crashed out. So prost deserved that championship
Who else thought the final showdown would be called "Is that Latifi?!" 😂
Flashback to 2008: “IS THAT GLOCK?!”
Only reason that it was not
“is that mazespin” is because of the rona
Im having flashbacks.. hahah
@@Maky-vo7qs That's the point 😂
this season made me fall in love with f1
Looking back at it 2021 was such a messy season for merc they were so lucky to even be in contention at AD, and tbf that was mostly down to crashing out the competition
Now I think to understand what people want to say when they talk about the intense Senna-Prost duels for the championship or what Formula 1 was and how it really should be.
Now I understand that if you didn't watch these things in real-time, you simply missed it forever because everything else only gives 1/100th of the insane rollercoaster of emotions you felt in those moments.
That's right. Even as I am rewatching those intense moments, nothing ever compares to witnessing it for the first time.
Dude I started watching F1 in 2018 and this 2021 season has completely opened my eyes
I cannot fight back until this season since my friend asked why I was watching such 'racing' game in which one car followed by another for hours.
@@TheEathos Right, when I was a child I watched F1 from 2002 until 2006 and I always taught those moments as the best I ever watched. Now I'm watching it again since 2017 and every year confirmed this until this season changed my mind. I hope we'll watch something like this with the new rules more often.
@@blumehao I hope we'll watch these things more often to not consider this season an "exception that confirms the rule" and to not fight back with a Toto style answer "No friend, no, no friend! This is so not right!" hahaha :P

Yeah next one is dts

if they did all the dramatic moments it would take hours to watch tho
@@apele3242 i would not care id watch that
Definitely needs a Part II. Max Brazil move, Checo defenses against Lewis, Alonso defense, Lewis solo grid start, Valtteri pitstop mess, all shock podiums/victories by other than Lewis-Max-Valtteri. Plus probably more.
Extremely great season.
Hamilton using his brake magic while the rest of the field turns left will never not look funny.
Hi General Dreagon LPs.
That single mistake probably cost him the championship.
Hamilton is such a gentleman, knowing that Max is out, he didn't want the points
If he won that race and seeing how he drove in the last three races.. He couldve won the championship.. lol
@@syyeung That's why he sent a personal request to Masi to let the cars by on the last lap in Abu Dhabi. Didn't want to take a championship that was rightfully Max's.
This was a great season that had it all. But I'm glad Leclerc and Verstappen are racing different against each other then Hamilton and Verstappen. It's nice to see them getting along and having respect for each other.
Yeah, even though Max is my first pick, i do feel bad for Leclerc when he's got bad luck again.
If Leclerc went to Red Bull, i think he might beat Max to the championship, as Max doesn't really battle with Leclerc, but Leclerc is more willing to start the duels, kinda like Max would with Hamilton.
Then again, every time Leclerc retires, it means Max is getting extra points, so it's kind of a double feeling.
@@Games_and_Music I hope that he doesn't get any bad luck anymore. We need him to keep the championship Interresting.
Max is learning that it takes 23 races to win the championship so he tries to battle Leclerc, but isn't taking to much risks. But same for Leclerc.
They have the same age, background and they are both really fast.
They are used to racing like they do. Hamilton wasn't last year and when things don't go like Hamilton plans you get a championship like last year.
WHAT A STUNNING SEASON WOW
you could’ve added this moments to the list
-fernando’s amazing defense against hamilton
-ocons first f1 victory
-ricciardo winning again in monza
-leclerc dns in monaco

When the Hungary pile up was only 8th… you know this was a fantastic season.
yeah, true! XD
It’s so perfect how the 2 Red Bull’s are taken out its hilarious ahha
@@Louis-in7mm What is your problem?
@@patrickeder527 he is a troll
@@Louis-in7mm Max still won though
Man it’s crazy that 1) McLaren clearly trust Lando enough to let him make the call on tire choice, 2) just how rude he was to his race engineer when asked about it, and 3) for all that, he made utterly the wrong choice. And even still he’s their golden boy.
in all fairness lando was completely under tons of pressure and adrenaline, they had already asked him prior and he said no, and then he completely owned his mistake lando is a huge talent they just need to tailor the car to him a little better and get that car to be competitive and lando could be taking podiums
Also the last update he got from the team was the rain would stay the same rather than getting heavier which he felt he would have managed. I think there was just too much pressure between the garage and Lando therefore the team didn't give him the latest info. In contrast, Lewis also wanted to stay out but trusted the team's call from the weather forecast.
Max is the new Era of F1. He reminds me alot of Ayrton Senna Driving, very agressive.
Don't say that. He's gonna die in a horrible crash in Imola five years later.
Totally. Someone who drives fiercely like Ayrton has finally come, and enjoying it to the fullest. Waited too long for this. If he gets a slight bit of space, he will go for it all the time. Love to see it.
I think hamilton’s favorite phrase is “that’s some dangerous driving”
Second to “my tires are gone”
Third: He just turned in on me
Again we can agree "this guy is such a sore loser"
He tries to influence ("manipulate" lol) stewards. Experience with the system and giving it his best to win on all fronts. That's ok, now just has to lose with a little more grace as well if that's the persona he wants to create for his legacy. If he would spend a little less time with the politics of it all and his future I think he might be happier though, but who knows.
"Anyone not bowing to the king is dangerous".
Absolutely fantastic montage!!! Few key things that could have been included:
Ocons P1, Alonso's defense.
Perez hunting down Bottas at Paul Ricard,
Daniel's Shoey,
"Ask him to defend like a lion" from Alonso,
Alonso podium,
Perez defending at Abu Dhabi,
Bottas longest pitstop at Monaco...to name a few!!!
That's awesome moments, not dramatic as such
Alonso defending against Lewis in Hungary won "action of the year" by the fia, but it's not even on this top 10, go figure 🤷🏻♂️
Charles crash in Monaco
Drive to survive is sure to cover all that.. can’t wait
You mean Alonso defending off Lewis like a lion but when tells Esteban to defend like a lion, he defends like a cat

The resilience by Max to fight back even when the last few races weren’t going his way is incredible.
Not to mention the fight Lewis put on to win multiple races in a row to get back in the championship.
What a season. Can’t wait for next year.
Final a civil response
Max will another and it will feel alot better than this championship. No natter what it's tarnished. Great season. Michael masi won it. 2 great racers go again next year. Must be frustrating for both of them
@@crazypats1227 If you think this season was tarnished you haven't been watching F1 for long. Maybe ping pong is a more perfect sport? Honestly there are calls made every year in F1 that drivers and teams object to but the race goes on. One driver can get a tire puncture and be out while another from behind wins the race. That's not a tarnished win. That's a win. Max may win another championship but he has not indicated he feels the least bit bad about this one. Seems pretty happy to me. There are rules of course and that all comes into play. We hope for perfect calls but it doesn't always happen.
No @spinsandneedles no you are so not right!

Best Answer. I'll put more blamed on Max for Monza.
this comment is very underrated XD
4:51 the magic?
Front brake locking system on Mercedes of that year for warmup laps and such.
The legend
Alonso is so correct about Max...
"he was unlucky so often this season, now it’s more balanced. So it’s a little bit of justice.”
Bro stop waffling
The more I watch this top, the more I rejoice on Max's championship. Totally deserved, for both max and hamilton.
I also love that Alonso said “He (Max) should be two cars in front of me.” when the lapped cars were told not to overtake
Max only had bad luck all year, even Baku with both out was bad for him because he should have opened 11 points bud didn't got anything... And when Lewis made the mistake leaving the track and getting one lap behind, Bottas just crashed and he got back to the race for free.
You’ll need to make a top 22 dramatic moments and play each race for each place. That’s how dramatic this whole season was

I actually remember seeing this when it was live (on TV in passing), and not really looking into F1 at the time, was confused as to why it was a big deal.
Clearly I was missing a lot of context.
Loved seeing llando slide off the track after being so adamant to stay on. Learnt the hard way.
This list could have had 15 or even 20 spots. There was so much drama, excitement and controversy this season. Can't wait to see what 2022 has in store.
You know the season was so exciting when you get pumped even just by watching the clips. Man i hope the field gets bunched closer next year. That season was one for the books!
2021 was a best season ever of all time.
Love mex. 😊😊😊😊😊😊
That was like a best racing movie. I hope that I live and seen this great year
I can clearly remember watching every single race with my best friend. Both rooting for Max. Doing the Math after every single one of the last 10 races on how it could turn out. Screaming, Yelling and laughing with every single event. And i do remember the feeling as a Max Fan when even Checos brilliant Defense couldnt get max close enough. And then the total disbelief that it might not be over yet when Latifi crashed.
Im not even gonna lie, I was cheering for Max during the entire season, mainly due to the fact that I was a bit bored with the absolute Mercedes dominance we have been seeing for the last few years, but seeing Lewis after that last lap, so close to history, and still accepting defeat in such a graceful way, publicly congratulating Max, his father, and Redbull, really makes me appreciate Lewis's growth as a person over the years. Wish him all of the best. Hopefully next season will give us some thrillers like the banger that was the 2021 season.
Yes, he just disappeared for a Month, he surely accepted the defeat.

3:37 if I remember right, max is very lucky his car went to the right here because if it went left he would’ve been looking at a very fast side collision with the start of the pit wall

Max hitting the wall in Saudi was heartbreaking. That was one of the most incredible laps I have ever seen, thrown away on the last corner.

It could very well have ensured Hamilton was able to close out the victory. I am not a lewis fan and i just see things unemonatiolly.
