One of the most dramatic moments in sports history. Sunday’s culmination of Formula 1, when the title between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton was decided only in the last lap, had an impact outside the world of motorsport. Slovak skier Petra Vlhová also watched the final races of the season.

They make no secret of the fact that she is a big fan of the formula. And like every single fan, she experienced the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. “If someone filmed me, it would be a hit. I’m a big fan of this sport. I experienced it really emotionally, “ she said at Monday’s press conference.

The fan world seemed to split in two. Some were satisfied with the result and the premiere triumph of Max Verstappen, others preferred to see another triumph of Lewis Hamilton. How is it with Petra Vlhová? Is she happy with how it turned out? “Yes, I do.”

The huge rivalry that Formula 1 drivers have among themselves is also known by the Slovak skier, whose huge rival is the American Mikaela Shiffrin. “It’s a completely different sport, but it’s something like that. Not only them, but Mikaela and I compete with each other. So I got a little out of it, because every year I get the same question about whether we’re friends.

Next time someone asks me, I’ll tell them to ask Verstappen and Hamilton if they’re friends. “ Petra Vlhová came across a post she added to her Instagram after the race.

And does the native of Liptov see himself more recently in the fresh champion or Lewis Hamilton? “I did not think about it that way, so I probably won’t even discuss it. For me, they are both champions, ” added the holder of a big globe from last season.
