On January 7, Beijing time, Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner said that the championship of his own team's driver Verstappen was well deserved. Safety cars are Red Bull's luck, but they've also had bad times before.
British car fans, though, don't buy it. In one survey, more than 65 percent believed Hamilton deserved the final title, with less than 20 percent supporting Verstappen.
The F1 race of the 2021 season has been full of twists and turns. Verstappen and Hamilton alternately won the race, scoring the same points before the final leg. At one point in Abu Dhabi, Hamilton was more than 13 seconds ahead.
But Massy's call, and the safety car's exit before the final lap, gave Verstappen a chance. In the end, the F1 match staged a scene of "penalty killing" in football.
After the race, the Red Bull Team cried with joy, while the Maybon Team cried and complained.
Racing fans have criticized Max Verstappen for not being worthy of the championship. But Red Bull Racing boss Horner objected, saying: "We talked about it earlier in 2021 and it's going to be a super long season. Fans are so busy that they forget a lot of things. At the beginning of the season, we were quite unlucky, and if we could get more points in other competitions, the champion might not have to wait until the Abu Dhabi race. ”
Horner said: "We were lucky to have a safety car, but max could not have overtaken without preparing for the pit stop and changing tires in advance. It's great decisions, great strategies, great teams and verstappen's great execution. We won the Grand Prix, which is as it should be.
Horner did not say anything about Meben's complaint and their subsequent failure to attend the award ceremony.
Still, Horner said: "Time will tell, Max Verstappen is a well-deserved world champion and Red Bull Racing is immensely proud of that, with history books documenting and proving him to be the 2021 world champion." ”
Horner also did not forget to remind everyone that in the 2020 season, Verstappen not only trailed Hamilton by more than 130 points, but also inferior to Meben's No. 2 driver Bottas in points. He believes it is time for the team to emerge from the agony of a crushing defeat, as Verstappen has finally won the title.
Horner's words may only represent Red Bull Racing and fans in the Netherlands and Austria, because in one survey, most people believed that Verstappen was not eligible for the championship.
65.2% believe hamilton is the one who performs better and deserves the title.
18.9% believe that Verstappen's title is no problem.
14.8% thought both were outstanding.
1% didn't think it through.
Admittedly, The Maypen Team's performance on the field is better than that of a Red Bull car, and Verstappen has fewer turnovers in the race than Hamilton.
In addition, in the previous games, there have been many controversial penalties, many of which have benefited Hamilton and Verstappen has been damaged.
Hamilton's advantage in West Asia is not small, and the final continuous catch-up makes Red Bull full of pressure up and down. If Red Bull eventually loses, it is likely that in the next few years, it will not be a rival to Mei Ben. After winning the championship, the contest between Xiaohan and Xiaopan in the 2022 season is full of highlights.
