Putting aside the controversial decision of the race director on last lap of the last race, which still left Verstappen behind Hamilton ... throughout the whole 2021 season Verstappen won the most points, won the most races, had the most pole positions in qualifying, had the most podium finishes, led the most laps and shared first position for the most fastest laps during the races. Not bad really.
Jim - all that is true but it's precisely why Lewis is such a great driver - he never gives up and keeps fighting when the odds are stacked against him. But - what the hell - it's only a race and, of course, a championship - and an environmentally destructive one at that ! Bring on the electric cars into Formula 1 !
