Max Verstappen has become world champion. Although there is still controversy surrounding the final race in Abu Dhabi, it can be said that Verstappen earned it on his own merits. With his new shoes, the Dutchman is once again cloaking himself in gold.

Golden racing shoes Verstappen

Lewis Hamilton will not be seen at the Pirelli tests in Abu Dhabi, but his victorious rival Verstappen will be there. Before the FIA Prize Giving Gala in Paris on Thursday, the new champion will take part in tests of Pirelli's new 18-inch tyres at the circuit where he took victory and the title on Sunday in an ultimate final lap.

Verstappen will drive his car with number 1 next year. He has earned the privilege with his first title. Lewis Hamilton did not do it in recent years, and Nico Rosberg did not appear at the start of an F1 race after his title. The last time we saw it was with Sebastian Vettel. Verstappen does not choose to keep his title hidden and puts on golden shoes especially for the occasion in Abu Dhabi.
