RED BULL team boss Christian Horner accused Mercedes of “f***ing up” on the day Lewis Hamilton lost the World Championship in 2021. The infamous 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was when the British racing driver lost the F1 world title to Max Verstappen. Hamilton who was leading the whole race was set to secure his eighth World Championship but was snubbed of the title at the last point. Verstappen overtook the Brit at the Turn 5 hairpin to take the race victory along with the F1 title. He told Sky’s A League Of Their Own “I have absolutely no idea” why the race is so well-known. They left poor Lewis out there on tyres that had done pretty much most of the race and we’d pitted with Max, so he was on a fresh set of tyres.
