Epidemic Sound

That's the real takeaway. Watching Max and Lewis push each other to levels of greatness neither had seen previously was fantastic all year.

No matter who you support, this was a historic season. It will go down in history like those in '76, '89, '90, '97, and many others. With all the drama, flare, controversy, it was a banger!

[IanRB]

To be honest, after the season we have had, did you REALLY expect it to end any other way than in controversy?

Also, Kimi retiring from his last race where he got DOTD so he didn't get to be interviewed was probably the most Kimi thing ever.

8:09 If Checo hadn't slowed Lewis down that much, Lewis would've been able to pit under safety car. So yes, Checo's defense was crucial for Max's win.

The way Perez drove against Hamilton was Giga Alonso level of legend.

The reasons why this season was so bloody interesting and went up to the final lap:
33% Max
33% Lewis
33% Michael and the FIA
1% GOATIFI

I would like to put some spotlight on Perez's duel with Hamilton mid way through - highlight of the race for me, brilliant stuff, the kind of racing I want more of and unfairly overshadowed.

Fun Fact: The person screaming "OH MY LORD" at max and the first to congratulate him when he crossed the finish line as champion on the radio was Alex Albon.
Edit: turns out it was GP the whole time.1 year later when he told us

[jackmanley]

Matt: "The social media championship goes Haas F1 Team!"
Toto: "No Matt! No! This is not right!"

[JTR]

I think someone who didnt get enough recognition was Hamiltons dad, went to sincerly congratulate Max and Jos after the race even though arguably it was pretty much Hamiltons race.

That was class from him🙌

[Thomas-etts]

Regardless of who you support, sit back, and look back on one of the greatest seasons and championship battles we've seen in a long, long time. Both drivers were exceptional through and through. Congrats Max!

[davey]

Without Perez holding up Hamilton, he could've made a pitstop when the safety car came out, without losing track position. So Perez kinda won Max the WDC.

No one:
Absolutely no one:
Kubica finishing ahead of Mazepin in the driver’s championship despite only running two races and not scoring any points.

[evanjonez]

Yeah at lap 50 I was like “yeah it’s over” then 3 laps later Latifi put his life on the line for If I was max I’d buy him a beer.

[CoasterScouts]

This was the first year I watched The entire F1 season from start to finish. Clearly this was the best year to do it. Really shows how you all enjoy F1 so much. And it helped me expand my passions of motorsports. I enjoy all motorsports, but this season was truly something special.

[mijnnaamisgijs]

Listen, can we just all appreciate this season. Whoever would’ve won, it would have been fantastic and deserved. Both Max and Lewis have both been exceptional this season, and no amount of hate can change that.

[vqs_vancleve]

This season will go down in history as one of the most intense. We really did watch history!

[juanignaciomontiel]

8:10 actually impressed that you say that Checo's defence didn't do much.

Without it, Hamilton would've had a free stop with the safety car. The old hard tyres on Lewis's car were pretty much the reason why Max overtook him.

If Michael Masi and the FIA followed the rule book on the many controversial decisions made this season (Silverstone, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, etc.), how would it have impacted the championship. Would love to see a breakdown/video on that.

[Giovannixx]

What a season, GG boys, it was a pleasure experiencing this roller-coaster with you all
