Abu Dhabi played host to the most controversial and dramatic F1 title deciders in history as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen beat 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton to the drivers’ crown in contentious circumstances following a last-lap o♎vertake. 

Having dominated the race, Hamilton appeared on course to claim a record-breaking eight title in the winner-takes-all showdown until a late 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Safety Car period flipped the race on its head.

Only the cars running between Hamilton and Verstappen were allowed to unlap themselves in a rushed restart that enabled Verstappen - on fresh soft tyres compared﷽ to Hamilton’s much older hards - to snatch the title away from his rival. 

FIA race director Michael🦂 Masi’s incorrect application of the Safety Car rules resulted𒐪 in the championship changing hands and ultimately led to him being removed from his post. 

Maylander, who was behind the wheel of the꧒ Safety Car, revealed he needed a private moment after the race finished to comeಞ to terms with what he had witnessed. 

"I walked through the hospitality area with my helmet on andℱ sat down at the back of the paddock first," Maylander told Auto Motor und Sport. "I had to be on my own first to think ‘what just happened?’”

The incident denied Hamilton a recoꩵrd eighth t🐼itle and the Briton has been unable to challenge Verstappen for the world championship since after Mercedes were caught out by a major regulation shake-up in 2022. 

Maylander also revealed Hamilton’s particular way of following the Safet𝐆y Car when leading a race. 

“Lewis always hides a bit behind the car,” the 51-year-old German explained. “You always have to look into t♐he blind spot – where is he?”
