Verstappen world champion, Wolff is not there

Max Verstappen wins the Formula 1 World Championship with Red Bull, Lewis Hamilton is beaten on the last lap – after the intervention of the safety car – and Toto Wolff, boss of Mercedes, is not there. While the Abu Dhabi GP is experiencing its incredible final, with Verstappen overtaking Hamilton on the last lap, Wolff via radio takes it out on the race director, Andrea Masi. “It’s not fair!”, Wolff shouts disputing the decision to restart the race on the last lap after the intervention of the safety car. “Toto, they are called racing …”, Masi replies, explaining the decision to restart the GP. Wolff probably hoped that the race would end under the safety car: with the competition frozen after Nicholas Latifi’s Williams crash, Hamilton would take victory and take his eighth career title. The last lap, on the other hand, offered Verstappen an extraordinary chance. The Dutchman exploited it, for Hamilton’s disappointment – flawless after the race with congratulations to his rival – and for Wolff’s anger.
