2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Yas Marina, Dec 10 - 12 Sportsbook Motor Sport

So at the end of the day today..

- Red Bull drove a perfectly fair race, unlike what many feared.
- Lewis drove a perfect race individually
- Lewis was badly unlucky, Max was very lucky
- Red Bull was quick and decisive in their strategy, Mercedes wasn't
- FIA/Stewards made arguable decisions (don't they always?)

In today's race Max definitely was the luckier one, in other races it has been the other way around. At the end of the whole season both drivers can argue they deserve it. They were both miles above all the others for the whole season.

The best part of the whole race for me was the battle between Checo and Lewis, awesome racing from both!

Mercedes intend to appeal but there won't be a title change or anything like that though, and probably rightly so as Max did nothing wrong. It'll likely be swept under the rug and Mercedes pretty much paid off to let it die down.

There's no other outcome in this farcical world of F1.
