On Sunday 12th December, Max Verstappen has been announced winner of his first Formula One World Championship after beating Lewis Hamilton in a controversial season finale at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

A race like no other

The two titanic rivals arrived at the last race of the F1 2022 Championship with the same number of points. Max Verstappen managed to qualify in pole position after executing a magical qualifying lap on Saturday. However, it was Hamilton that started the race better from second, overtaking Verstappen and dominating the race until a late safety car.

The race was restarted with one lap to go with Verstappen on fresh tyres and Hamilton on old ones. The race terminated with the magical victory of the young dutch pilot Verstappen, representing the youngest pilot to ever win a F1 Championship.
