The pilot of “Red bull” Max Verstappen believes that Lewis Hamilton should not be very upset because of the defeat at the end of the 2021 season at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
“It’s hard for me to imagine myself in Lewis’s place, because I’m not a seven-time world champion,” Autosport quotes Verstappen. – But, probably, having seven titles in your track record, leading the entire race and losing victory on the last lap is not as offensive as in the fight for the first title.
It’s a shame? Yes, but let him look back at his seven titles. It seems to me that everything is not so bad. What did Lewis say to me after the finish? Something like “Congratulations, dude.” To be honest, I don’t remember anymore, but, of course, it’s nice that the first thing he did was congratulate me.».
Verstappen edged out Hamilton for the title with a final stage win.
