Verstappen says Red Bull won title with ‘SLOWER’ car than Mercedes
Jos Verstappen has acknowledged that the result of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2021 was hard to take for Mercedes after the drivers’ world championship slipped from their grasp, but insists Red Bull had the slower car towards the end of the season.
Verstappen’s son, Max, was able to fit new tyres and overtake Lewis Hamilton on the final lap of the final race of the year to snatch his maiden Formula 1 title.
The controversial decision to bring out the safety car in the closing stages significantly affected Hamilton’s shot at an eighth world championship.
After witnessing Max win his third consecutive drivers’ championship, the Dutchman’s father has gladly discussed that famous night under the Yas Marina lights in 2021.
