What a season Max Verstappen has had. No matter your opinion on his driving style and aggression, you cannot deny that he is one of the best young talents we’ve seen. This is only the beginning for him too, only 24 years old! A deserving world champion.

Me after watching Hamilton dominate the race only to lose on the last lap because Michael Masi wanted the dramatic Netflix finale

I don't know what I've just watched but it can't be right. Hamilton's been robbed, surely? #F1

Max Verstappen deserves this championship beyond doubt, but that was very very dirty from the FIA

Lewis was robbed. FIA ‘we let them race the last lap’. Well if Verstappen was quick enough, they would’ve raced the other 57 laps. Unbelievable. #FormulaOne #AbuDhabiGP

This Max Verstappen Champion win was manufactured. Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes were robbed. No ways about it.

Hamilton was basically winning 10-0 in the 90th minute and they said next goal wins while Verstappen was on a counter attack

the worst thing here is that verstappen didn’t break the rule, the FIA broke their OWN rules. how are Mercedes supposed to get back at them??? it’s so unfair. a steal.

nah I'm actually livid. if Verstappen had won this title on merrit that would be one thing. but for the FIA to gift him this title by bending every rule there is, that is unacceptable.

Today, Max Verstappen ran out of talent against the greatest racing driver of all time in Lewis Hamilton. So on the last lap the FIA changed a 25 year old procedure to gift the win to Max so they could end Lewis domination. I’ve never seen such a bigger fix up in my life in sport

Sergio Perez deserved to be on the podium with Max Verstappen and Christian Horner to share that moment. He was outstanding today and played such an key role in keeping Verstappen in the race. When it mattered most, he was there to help his teammate. #AbuDhabiGP #F1

Max Verstappen drove like a champion all season. The issue here is with the FIA not having a fucking clue what they're doing. It isn't Max's fault that their incompetence helped him that much, much as it isn't Lewis's fault that he couldn't defend from Max at the end either.
