Have you caught your breath yet?
I’m still recovering. The final Formula 1 race of the season in Abu Dhabi came down to the final lap, one run around the track to decide if Max Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton — tied in points coming into Sunday — would win a championship, Hamilton’s eighth or Verstappen’s first.
A controversial decision from stewards to allow the lapped cars between the two go ahead of the safety car and allow for the two rivals to go head-to-head for that last lap had fans furious.
But one thing is for sure after Hamilton and Verstappen have gone at each other for the whole year, which has included some questionable incidents. For fans of Drive to Survive, the Netflix docu-series that has followed each of the last three F1 seasons, the fourth edition in 2022 looking back on this year is going to be must-watch television.
Fans agreed after Sunday’s stunning conclusion:
‘Formula 1: Drive to Survive’ is going to be absolutely box office… 🍿👀

Terrible result for Lewis but great result for F1. Championship decided on the final race, everyone arguing about the rules online and a dramatic ending for the next season of Drive to Survive.
Better to be a controversial sport than a boring one. 🤷🏽♂️😄
