NOBODY likes a sore loser, so come on Mercedes – drop the legal threat and move on. Mercedes have retained the constructors’ championship; Max Verstappen wins the drivers’ title. I think most F1 followers will agree – I am not including you Hamilton fans – Verstappen and Red Bull deserve their success. Everyone wanted this championship to be decided on the track rather than by the stewards – put this nonsense to bed and we can all say it was. Red Bull are the only team to take the fight to Mercedes this season where they were fully committed. If you ask me too, I’d say Hamilton was fortunate on lap one in Abu Dhabi not to have been told to surrender that place when he went off track under pressure from Verstappen.
