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!

[mirzasaysrelax]

Checo Perez defending Hamilton for Max to catchup was absolutely amazing

[Firearcher]

this 14 minutes is better than the entire drive to survive series

[OscarZheng]

we need more seasons like this. controversial endings are more entertaining than championships won 5 races before the season ends

[viorisewastaken]

I'm still amazed by the defence of Checo, he really deserves the Minister of Defence title, what a brilliant driver !

Amazing edit btw

[suraj-gattani]

Show this to someone who's not a fan of Formula 1. I believe this is one of the biggest moments any sport can ask for, just not Formula 1. Brilliantly edited with some incredible background music.

[BlondeWick]

Max is so blunt and direct, that post-race interview where he says
"all of this, now, this hasn't been for nothing, and that's something which-I; which is very special."

Max is aware of the fact that his entire existence has been aimed at achieving this goal. The fact that he achieved it while being aware of that, in the circumstance he did, surreal. The slip of emotion into his words tells everything, beyond the capability of words.

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

[elenaeichel]

That Moment, at 5:25 when Max appeared on screen behind Checo gave me Gossebumps. Checo is and will be a f*** Legend!

[godwinimmanuel]

I’m not still over this race! Takes great sportsmanship to tap Max’s shoulder after a tragic ending for oneself!

[Caviarvitsarut]

The “No No Mikey! no No Mikey! That was so unright!” Is actually so iconic.

[yeah-qbzn]

14 minutes better than hours and hours of DTS well done!

[monchoyt]

Abu Dhabi 2021 will be forever remembered as a tale from fiction turned to reality

[hiteshgavini]

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.

[hrik]

I will never forget this race ever. As a Hamilton Fan...This will hurt forever. But at the same time we must Welcome the new World Champion...MAX Verstappen is truly a Champion.

[vulcanmotorsport]

This! This is story telling and this is how F1 edits should be done! Bravo friend!

[wesleykroon]

Perez pulled of one of the most impressive stunts in history by holding up lewis like that. What a drive that was!

[ApexMissedxD]

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.

[alexxx_zou]

Toto before the race: "Whoever wins, deserves to win."
Toto after the race: "NEIN, Michael its not right!"
