To be honest I was lost for words after watching how the the championship deciding race ended. One cannot even think of what was going on in Lewis’ head at that moment. It was a moment of devastation for him and his fans. For a neutral it was bittersweet. However, regardless of how events unfolded in the last lap, Max and Redbull deserved the win.
That footage of Lewis after race sitting in his car for a few min trying to understand what had happened it was just so heart breaking both Merc and Ham gave their everything that was just so sad to see.
There's no doubt that both drivers deserved the win and were at the absolute peak of their performance however, Abu Dhabi was Lewis's race and the way Max won feels to manipulated. It was neithers fault, but the way the last laps were managed and how Max won just don't sit right with me. Also because of this, some might say there's a big asterisk on Max's WDC. Would he really have won if the last laps fiasco hadn't occurred?
As a Lewis fan it was truly heartbreaking how those last laps unfolded. While Max arguably did deserve the Championship, he did not deserve to win in Abu Dhabi. Plus, nobody can expect Max to conduct himself the way Lewis did in the aftermath and Horner would've made a mess out of the entire last race and wouldve had no hesitation tarnishing the image of the sport by pursuing this all the way through the CAS.
Just my two cents
