I wasn't disappointed that max won... but I was extremely disappointed with how it was won

[HumanEatingDuck]

I saw a comment that said, “the wrong man won the race but the right man won the championship” and I feel that sums it up

[elliotttalksf]

Perfectly worded. You could hear the crowd were underwhelmed with that answer. 😄

[DjMinusMusic]

Kmag brings peace everywhere he goes nowadays. Even in YouTube comment sections about Abu Dhabi 2021. Mad.

[rincobaan]

Max deserved WDC21, Lewis deserved AD21. Max got unlucky in the championship, Lewis got unlucky in AD. In the end Latifi threw a spanner in the mix.

[acasale]

Lewis deserved to win the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Max deserved to win the 2021 Drivers’ Championship. That is the correct answer.

[ThunderDawg]

The comments here aren't toxic as fuck, well done guys

[ThatLdMnK]

That is the best way to describe it for most of us

[patriot-dvdh]

Michael “he did nothing wrong, but, magically, disappeared the following season” Masi!

[MENQN]

It was fun to watch but it wasnt right

[stephenwhite]

K Mag is perfect on the button, 100% correct, AB21 was dodgy, Lewis deserved to win that race but Max deserved the championship

[germanlo]

Max was a monster in 2021, definitely worthy of being champion, but the way it was won (by no fault of him and Red Bull) will never sit right with me.

[ozholiday]

I agree. LH fans focus on a bad decision against LH in the decider, but had other wrong things not happened in favour of LH or against MV in the rest of the long year, it may not have even been a deciding race

"the race was a puppet show" - one wise man

[NeoWong-fx]

He is god dam right and respect...!!! This is Neo Wong (the champion driver) (the first Chinese ever won the F1 championship in history...!!! I'm a British Chinese from Hong Kong ...!!!

Thanks big man for speaking out the truth...!!! Respect the history are important...!!! Another big thanks for Max Vesppen giving me a chance driving the F1 for the team racing for the Dutch on behalf of him...!!! It (the win of the race) was totally a team work effort...!!! Max did the most part and deserved credit from the public specially the press, cos he contributed the radio part for the whole race...!!! Making sure the whole F1 racing at that day entertaining everyone calming and steadily, otherwise it would be mess such as causing confusion and delay.

Thanks for everyone that involved in the race specially to Red Bull & their CEO - Chris...!!! All the best of luck for everyone...!!! Cheers...!!!

well worded. hamilton deserved the race but verstappen deserved the championship. plus it was better that the race ended on a last lap shootout rather then behind the safety car

[njgrplr]

The spirit of the rule is to let lapped cars unlap themselves behind the safety car so they don't interfere with the battle at the front between race leaders. Since there was insufficient time to let all cars unlap themselves, Massi did the next best thing - he only allowed the cars between Hamilton and Verstappen to unlap themselves. In the end, he gave fans the exciting race and season finally they wanted. Oh, and it wasn't Verstappen's fault Mercedes failed to box and get new tyres.

[mohamedally]

That's like stating the race wasn't important for the championship ... it mattered more than the Spa parade.

[joshuak]

It wouldn’t have been as bad if it was for Lewis Hamilton’s record breaking championship though

[DonLee]

Max shouldn't have won that race, but he should have won the championship. The only reason why Lewis was tied in points was because he and Bottas crashed into Max 2 races in a row. If you had your teammate help do your dirty work to take out your rival, just so that you can get even in points, it's just not cool. Just on race merit and performance, Max beat Lewis that year.
