German racing legend Walter Rohrl has slammed Formula 1, the FIA, new world champion Max Verstappen and even Nicholas Latifi in the wake of the controversial 2021 title finale. “Now I know that in future I don’t have to waste a minute watching a Formula 1 race on television. I can save time and fool myself,” Rohrl told Straubinger Tagblatt newspaper. But Rohrl even criticised “amateur driver” Nicholas Latifi for the crash that triggered the contentious safety car period and “decided the world championship”. As for new world champion Verstappen, Rohrl described the Dutchman as an “ice-cold, characterless driver with disregard” for his rivals.
