In the early morning of December 13, the 2021 F1 season ended in Abu Dhabi, and this last leg was also the last game, Verstappen surpassed Hamilton on the last lap to win the first world championship of his career with 395.5 points, and Hamilton was second.
However, in this classic battle, the last sentence left is: "This game is manipulated!" "At yas marina track in Abu Dhabi, when Hamilton crossed the finish line after Verstappen, he roared through the line and complained to his own team that it was a complete trap. In a 58-lap showdown, Hamilton led a full 57 laps, but from the last 8 laps, the track was full of runways, which May not have been expected by Hamilton. But in hindsight he should understand that for the sake of F1's future, so that F1 can attract audiences more, he must also contribute.
To know that F1 since its debut in 1950, he has entered a period of recession, in 2017, after the American Free Media Group acquired F1 for $8 billion, the actual race has not developed much, there are many problems, such as narrow lanes can not overtake, the charm of the sport has no charm. Racing, which is a niche sport in itself, must have new topics and competitive appeal in order for him to achieve the development of Fit. So the Americans shot, naturally in the direction of more entertainment.
In fact, in the last few laps of Abu Dhabi, if you choose according to the normal rules of the race, there can be many ways, but the FIA and the event director understand that this is a choice that creates enough topic and traffic, they must choose Verstappen, not Hamilton, obviously the eight champions do not have a first-time winner Hamilton high traffic! If you make a better understanding of the analogy, just like the International Table Tennis Federation in the last ball, can be judged to the national table tennis win, can also be judged to other foreign players to win, then obviously foreign players to win the championship, will be more conducive to the development of the sport.
Under the entertainment, F1 has become a "show"? But he also has to turn into a show. When Liberty Media Group bought F1, it said that it must be doing the game according to the idea of the entertainment and sports industry in the United States. They made F1 a super show, such as they brought in Brian Taylor, who had scored "Fast and Furious" to make the theme song; for example, they live-streamed the car repair story behind F1 and even came up with the "plot"; for example, they were perfectly combining with esports to attract younger fans, etc., Americans are applying their talents to build a professional sports money empire in F1, and they are also preparing for F1 to land on the NASDAQ.
In the United States, where professional sports are highly developed, Hamilton is sometimes an actor, and sometimes plays a supporting role, which is more obvious for this big drama! In this big drama, who counts the laps, who loses...
