Verstappen said the Meypen team leader wrote a private letter of congratulations: the title deserved

The question of the true attribution of the F1 championship this season remains unresolved, and Mercedes has issued a statement that it will appeal to the International Tribunal over the dismissal of the complaint by the event officer, but privately the attitude of the top level of the Mayben towards the disputed championship incident seems to have eased. On December 13, local time, according to the French "Guardian" report, Verstappen revealed that Mercedes coach Toto Wolff took the initiative to contact him after the game and congratulated him, saying that winning the world championship is an honor that the Dutch deserve. In addition, according to the Times, Meben is considering abandoning further appeal plans.

After celebrating his first world title on championship night in Abu Dhabi, Stappen gave an online interview yesterday about how to celebrate the victory after winning the championship and the competition with Hamilton, revealing that Wolff privately congratulated him on winning the championship.

"Of course, when I wake up, it's not so much fun." Verstappen said the night of celebration lasted until the next morning, "I regret drinking too much, I think there must be someone with the same headache as me now." ”

In response to Mercedes' appeal against the outcome of the match, Verstappen explained that his private relationship with Hamilton and team leader Wolff had not been reduced to freezing.

"Toto (Wolff) sent me an email congratulating me on how I performed this season and saying I should win the title. The Nova world champion said, "The others are really nice. Lewis (Hamilton) was a great athlete and the last lap must have been tough for him, and even then he congratulated me after the race. It also shows how respectful we are to each other. ”

"Of course, we had some periods of tension in the season, but in the end, we respected each other, we respected the fact that we pushed each other to the limit. It's great to compete with him, and the last Grand Prix is more like a microcosm of an entire season. It's really crazy, it's too intense! ”
