Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has said Lewis Hamilton and he think about the former’s controversial F1 title loss at the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP “every day”.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff and Lewis Hamilton still think about the controversial 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix title loss daily, five years later. The wounds of that night are still fresh in their minds, as both feel they have not gotten over it. The race ended with Max Verstappen passing Hamilton for his maiden championship on the last lap, after a controversial interpretation of the rules by race director Michael Masi. Wolff believes both Hamilton and Verstappen were deserving champions, but a bad call was made which cannot be reversed. The fallout led to Christian Horner’s exit from Red Bull, with Wolff suggesting a gap in Horner’s personality might have contributed to his departure after almost two decades with the team.
