The 2021 Abu Dhabi GP seemed like a very anticlimactic finale to an epic season, turned out to be the most controversy filled race in the season! FIA took matters in their own hands to make up rules on the spot and pissed of many F1 fans.

This track was one of the most dangerous tracks we have witnessed. With all the chaos that happened yesterday, we go into the last race with Max and Lewis tied on the championship table.

The 2021 Brazilian GP gave us one of Hamilton’s most dominant performances. While having to overtake the entire field twice due to DSQ in Qualification due to his DRS opening just 0.2mm wider than the regulation and 5 place grid penalty received due to using extra ICE components. Max had tried his best to hold back the beast but Hamilton just breezed by him on to take the victory and thus reviving the championship battle.
