Abu Dhabi played host to the most controversial and dramatic F1 title deciders in history as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen beat 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton to the drivers’ crown in contentious circum𒁏stances following a last꧂-lap overtake. 

Having dominated the race, Hamilton appeared on course to claim a record-breaking eight title in the winner-takes-all showdown until a late 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Safety Car period flipped the race on its head.

Only 𓂃the cars running between Hamilton and Verstappen were allowed to unlap themselves in a rushed restart that enabled Verstappen - on fresh soft tyres compared to Hamilton’s much older hards - to snatch the title away from his r♊ival. 

FIA race director Michael Maܫsi’s incorrect application of the Safety Car rules resulted in the championship changing hands and ultimately led to him being removed from his post. 

Maylander, who was behind the wheel of the Safety Car, revealed he needed a private moment after the race finished to come to terms with what he🅠 had witnessed. 

"I walked through the hospitality area with my helmet on and sat down at the back of the paddock first," Maylander told Auto Motor un♈d Sport. "I had to be on my own first to think ‘what just happened?’”

The incident denied Hamilton a reco꧙rd eighth title and the Briton 🌞has been unable to challenge Verstappen for the world championship since after Mercedes were caught out by a major regulation shake-up in 2022. 

Maylander also revealed Hamilton’s particular way o🌼f following 🐲the Safety Car when leading a race. 

ꦡ“Lewis always hides a bit behind the car,” the 51-year-old German explained. “You always have to look into the blind spot – where is he?”
