Verstappen sympathizes with Hamilton over manner of title defeat
Max Verstappen says he has sympathy for Lewis Hamilton due the manner of his defeat in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that ended with the drivers’ championship being decided on the final lap. Hamilton had led comfortably for the majority of the race before a Safety Car period with five laps to go closed the field up, and Verstappen pitting for new soft tires to try and attack. With only one racing lap possible and lapped cars cleared out of the way, Verstappen was able to overtake Hamilton on the final lap to win and secure a first championship, but he said he felt sorry for how things played out for his rival.
