On social media images of Max Verstappen fans going crazy during the last lap of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix are appearing everywhere. The Dutchman managed to overtake rival Lewis Hamilton for the championship victory in a crazy final stage.
It is the first time since 1991 that a driver has taken home the championship together with Honda. Ayrton Senna was the last driver to win with the Japanese engine manufacturer. It is therefore not surprising that the Japanese fans go absolutely wild when Verstappen crosses the finish line as the big winner in Abu Dhabi.
