The fact that Max Verstappen is world champion in Formula 1 is world news. It was a dramatic denouement that was followed everywhere. Even football fanatics, like the faces of the Veronica Inside programme, are lyrical about the victory of their countryman.

An ultimate finale to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix allowed Verstappen to claim his first F1 title. While the protests of Mercedes were still being judged, the moving images of Verstappen with his father Jos Verstappen already went around the world. A beautiful Dutch sports moment that was also discussed in the studio of Veronica Inside was discussed.

Wilfred Genee, Johan Derksen, René van der Gijp and Wim Kieft first discuss the protests of Mercedes. There is understanding for the emotions of Toto Wolff who let himself go completely against Michael Masi in the last lap over the radio; the men at the table do not expect Mercedes to continue their appeal against the statements of the race direction.

Verstappen's sports moment of the year

The conversation quickly turns to the images that appeared of the encounter between father and son Verstappen. Kieft calls it the most beautiful sports moment of the year and finds it sensational. Van der Gijp agrees: "This you will not forget your life, this is history what was written by that boy." Genee asks if it was more beautiful than the European Football Championship or the moments of the volleyball men, to which René answers 'yes'.
