My heart was beating, my hands were shaking, I cannot even began to imagine what both drivers were feeling today
yeah smae for me
max had a cramp in the straight
Hey man i love your viddys
xqcL
max had a massive cramp in his right foot pressing the throttle
Don't mind me, I'm just here to watch this final lap for the 50th time this week
Same jajaja
Same
Make it like 60th time for me.
same haha
Sky sports had face's liked smacked arses when veststappenwon 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Legends says: it was Daniel Ricciardo's fastest lap ever, just so he could keep his front row seat
He literally had the best seat i the house for this epic finale
Oh man he must be giving everything he got to watch it live untill the end 😂😂
Getting paid with the best seat of the place
@@ArielGonzalez1 he must have had thoughts though about maybe I should've stayed at Red Bull
I actually wonder how much the drivers focus on the racing in front of them or how much they focus on their own race because do you think he was actually getting excitement out of it??
Feels like it happened yesterday, not a year ago this lap wil always have a special place in my heart
Still an awesome watch I love arching Jeddah as that race was so frustrating but amazing to go back and re live it
The vroom then vroom as max flys by followed by Lewis
With the high speed turns and camera angles I was in the edge of my seat the whole race knowing one mistake will cost these guys
@@dominicviner6619 as much as I wanted Hamilton to win
This season has had so many twists and turns
I enjoyed every single race it has to offer because it was so close between them you have no clue what could happen and in who’s favour it would swing
Yeah I have notice that, feel like last year but I realise we are now in 2023 and this happen in 2021. Strange. Way gone to quick.

Max’s Rear wheel slide at the very last turn, still gives me anxiety. What a finish
I thought he did that on purpose because he was so far ahead at that point
Even of he did bin it, he probabaly would have had enough momentum to take him over the line anyway 😂
If he messed up the rear wheel slide hamilton could have won
The man was having severe leg cramps by then. Almost no gradual control over the throttle and still pulled it off
I"ve seen him does that often on the last corner when he leads to celebrate the victory by doing a small drift...

@@Rafalski7 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Watching this like 7 months later and still get chills when I see Hamilton nearly catch up to Verstappen through the slipstream.
Same here but I get the chills at 00:41 🤤
You could see he was going deep to get a higher exit speed for the straight. Obviously it turned out to be a brutal miscalculation since Verstappen went for a ballsy overtake, but if he had kept the lead into that straight Hamilton could have *possibly* held him for the rest of the race.
@@joshuagleeson4776 Definitely. HAM lifted going into that turn (see the red light blinking) so VER knew he could launch himself right there into that gap. HAM trusted too much in his car/overspeed instead of racing and defending like a lion.
Watching it live I really thought Hamilton was going to get the move back with how much speed he was picking up in the slipstream. Was exciting to watch
@@YouriKlijn honestly. there was no way he could have held him. New softs vs 37 lap old hards. that just wont cut it. if he covered max off on the inside of that turn he would have had terrible traction on his way out while max (with the new softs) would have had the better turn from the outside and the better traction he would have either switcheroo'd him right there or been so close that the next straight would have been an easy overtake with slipstream.
pointless discussion anyways i think but well.
It is tradition to come back and watch this every few months
Yep. Here I am again, years later.
I just wanted to say that Crofty's commentary is just incredible in adding tension to this last lap. The amount of excitement in his voice, and he always knows what to say in the moment. His way with words is just sensational.
So many great Crofty lines in just two minutes. A lot of these will go down in history.
0:44 "It's a late lunge by Verstappen, who takes the lead of the race!" especially got me.
Vanzini sky sport italy too
❤
Do you want me to tell you something funny?
Non Hamilton fans have hated Crofty for years just due to the simple fact that he has been the main commentator commentating on Hamilton's success. They've cried about it for years.
Now, all of a sudden, when another driver wins (fake win) these same people love crofty just because he's commentating on Hamilton getting robbed.
Its actually the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. People hating Crofty just because they hate Hamilton.
@@MT-pv2rf Yeah, fans are always biased towards their driver. No surprise there. I've always liked Crofty though, his commentary is incredible.
Can you believe how lucky those people in the stands at turn 5 were getting to see that deciding overtake live and not just on a screen
Someone posted a video of the overtake right from that corner and it looks crazy
@@samuelgyulai9652 Dude I've been trying to find the algorithm is blowing me
True
Yeah my boss was there and he is Hamilton fan so had pretty big laugh at him as he was saying there is no way Max will win it (we are both upper managemnt and friends so not a typical boss)
@@TravelwithPavel thats a fact there is no way max would won until masi step in. Max hollow gifted champion forever tainted
This will always be one of my favorite moments in F1 history.
Yeah, agree... it is so beautiful, the whole scene. Max is a beast! Lewis fell asleep
here...
You mean “sports” in total
Yep his choice not to get tires was not right
@@patricklemire9278winning tactics from Red Bull
@@patricklemire9278 Also the Stewards' choice to pit the safety car without a full inlap, as well as only letting certain backmarkers by, both of which are totally unprecedented? Mercedes played their hand perfectly--as did Red Bull--knowing the rules, and then the rules suddenly changed.
"BUT THE CHAMPIONSHIP CAN ONLY BE WON BY ONE!"
My whole body got goosebumps when I heard that. One of the most amazing battles in F1 I've ever witnessed.
This last lap has everything. Screaming Crofty, screaming Toto, Max block passing Lewis, Lewis fighting back, and the crowds screaming in delight and agony.
Perez the true Hero really
That was INSANE defending and blocking
@@inS41NT I love Riccardo but Perez is the best compliment driver Max has had
Dude when Toto screamed I almost died💀💀💀
Or the most disgusting , unbelievable , most boring shi**est of last lap what a.robbery what a robbery. F1 DIED TODAY.
Keep crying 😂😂😂
The 2021 season was a once in a lifetime experience
Totally true - what an experience to live through, superb!
2021 was the kind of season you'd see in a codemasters story mode, starting the end equally
No it wasnt, literally 2010 was more intense than this but i guess you dts fans wont know what happened
@@mangoofmagic4305 dont have to get all agitated, these people are just happy. its subjective anyway
Lies again? Maxx Thick
amazing commentary from crofty and brundle, but the "No Michael No that was so not right!" in the middle makes it legendary
THIS IS GOLD, ALMOST 1 YEAR AGO AND I STILL FEEL THIS LAP WITH EVERY EMOTION IN MY BODY!
This was by far one of the most intense feelings ive ever had in my Life. Watching that live was incredible!!!

Nooo Michael Noooooooo...... That will be one of the funniest things in F1 forever
Second only to Masi's demotion.
After many watches, it appears that Hamilton made a major miscalculation going into turn 5. It appears he was attempting to roll the car in deep and high on entry in order to hit the apex with as much speed and at as efficient of an angle as possible. Not expecting max to take a dive that early in the lap and thinking that this high entry would help him with his exit speed compared to max and allow him to maintain a gap down the straight. However when max took a dive heading into the corner, Lewis' high entry totally backfired. It gave Max the room he needed. Even worse, Lewis didn't seem to see it coming so he made a reactionary tweak of his steering angle to avoid contact and that took him off the apex and completely eliminated the advantage his initial line was supposed to provide him with. It seems it all came down to a simple assumption that turn 5 wasn't going to be where max made his move
Noooooo!!!
it wAs mASi
Absolutely. He should have gone defensive and covered the inside of the corner. Without Drs and with merc straight-line speed it is not given that Verstappen would have overtaken him on the long straight. Lewis also would've had the inside line coming into turn 6. The moment Max overtook him in turn 5 I knew it was over.
Add to it that Abu Dhabi is a terrible circuit for overtaking, which Lewis obviously knows from the 2016 final. I think if he was thinking clearly he would've defended, I think he was too much in shock and wasn't able to stablise himself..
@@zacariascisneros6399 ratio
@@chrisj1612 It was a hairpin coming to a very long straight. Lewis had old tyres while Max had fresh softs. Going defensive would make him get a bad exit speed and Max would breeze past easily. For the tyres he had that was probably the best he could do
I seriously almost got a heart attack at the final lap. This is one of the best sport moment ever.
I cannot believe how much adrenaline and pulse Max and Lewis had to stand in that lap... I thought I would pass out in front of the TV
@@1904timme I've been reading recently and Max is actually really calm when he races, Lewis at this point is used to the pressure. I'm sure that every driver goes into their zone with full focus, I believe that if any driver is thinking and being nervous I think that they would lose control of the car. This is just my guess.
make sure you take your Aspirin
@@FormulaMac In many interviews Max said that he was actually really nervous the whole abu dhabi week end but he tried to hide it as much as he could, but you can see how much pressure he felt when you hear his radio and you hear him crying and screaming, and also when he crouched against his wheel, you can see how much pressure he was under
@@Veeyron_ You could also see his nervousness / excitement in the final corner when he drifted a bit,
All this racing, all this fight, all this team effort, everything coming down to one lap, one single last lap. Thank you for this Max and Lewis, what legends you two...

@@Jmasta7 Been 3 months and you still can't get over it.
Bring team managers back on the radio!
last corner slide was just chefs kiss, the icing on the cake.
25 years of watching F1. Never seen a season like that. So many drama, wheel-to-wheel action. They responded one to each other both on practices, qualifying and races and they just offered us one of the most epic and dramatic ending to a historic season. They both deserved it but happy for Max
As a Ferrari fan, sounds like a 2008 sweet revenge. Massa's been champion for 30 seconds before being beaten by Hamilton. Now Hamilton has been champion for 57 laps before Verstappen became the real champion on the last lap.
But as I said, congratulations to both of them for everything they offered us this season
I agree. But I think if proper FIA regulations were followed the race would not have restarted until all the back markers were allowed to the front. They only allowed five of them. I'm glad Max won but he was lucky in a sense that F1 thought it was time for a new winner.
This comparison, hit the spot.
Those moments of miracles (with thousands of hours behind of them) what makes F1 such an amazing sport!
@@KryssN1 eh? michael masi broke the rules for Max to win
As Brazilian it also feels like a sweet revenge

@@justaguyonyoutube1184 I can tell you're new to F1 and or didn't watch the race, Hamilton had 13sec gap on lap 53 of 58 when Latifi crashed 13sec gap is far from "this race had everything dude" the ending was dramatic much like 08, in recent yers the 16 finale was more entertaining imo 2010 and 2007 had amazing races all year long , to each their own
Really, I thought HAM was leading the race with 2 fingers in the pockets. Until that fool crashed.
I was shaking, crying and shouting of happiness. I will never forget this lap.

At lap 50 I thought... it's over, Lewis won because had there not been a safety car Max had Lost straight out. But then lap 57 came and I almost had a heart attack...
Kinda feels wrong for a sport to be competing with Holywood...

@@robertmclean8358 Look at the thousands of video's on UA-cam, many showing fans from the UK cheering when Max won, very easy to do. As for Hamilton's worn out tyres, he had the same chance to change them as Max and many others did, Lewis even said we should change the tyres, so having worn out tyres is his/Mercedes fault, they could and should have used the opportunity like the others did.

Legit! My heart went from 60 to 160 faster than an F1 car
Was a fraud. If they had followed the rules it would have ended under a safety car Lewis wins if all the cars didn't unlap then max is too far back to overtake at end. They told red bull they changed minds 18sec before Lewis also. It was rigged

I rewatch this probably once every couple of months. I remember jumping in my living room right before the holidays, almost knocked over my Christmas tree. Wish I could witness it all for the first time over again.
An absolute historical conclusion of one of the most exciting formula one seasons ever.
I love how Ricciardo is trying to catch up to see how they battle it out.
I think that's Daniel, but indeed!
Just goes to show how phenomenal both Lewis and max drove the last lap
@@placeholder9724 it's Ricciardo behind them, Norris was one of the cars they let unlap themselves!
It’s Ricciardo behind them
Oh lol, completely missed him xD. I’ll fix that.
I really was screaming my lungs out on that final lap. Regardless of the controversy and all the grey areas throughout this blockbuster season, both Max and Lewis truly deserved the title this year. They've been outstanding right from the get-go and little separated them for the majority of the season. I feel very sorry for Lewis that his well-deserved 8th world title slipped out of his hands on the final lap in immensely controversial fashion, but when you put this incident and all the unjust moments Max and Red Bull encountered, in my humble opinion, they got even come the end of 22 brilliant races. Max just managed to edge Lewis to 2021's trophy and I do not believe that Max or Lewis, at this point, were robbed of anything after the skirmishes and incidents of the year had been balanced out. Max was humble in victory and Lewis gracious in heartbreaking defeat, I respect these two quite a bit for those reasons alone. Needless to say, we'll all be cheering these two on all over again in 2022 when we enter unchartered territory with those new regulations. Thank you, everyone for making a spectacularly special F1 season all the more memorable!
can you describe the screamings what you yell to whom and everything lol
Well said!!
Fully agree.
Wow perfectly spoken!
Well said 👏🏻
Watching this over and over…it still gives me goosebumps and my hands are shaking, just such an incredible moment
This is why I fall back in love with F1 again
You fell in love with a cheater 😂😂
Cheat? He already had more wins over Hamilton that season. 🤷
@@TheLvkrijger Rules are rules, no matter how much he deserved it
@@indicasmok398 look where he is now bro 😎
this season was great. one of the best, right up there with 2007, 2010, and 2012. everyone has been great- Max, Lewis, Perez, Bottas, Mazepin, every mechanic on every team and everyone else.
except for the FIA.
Mazepin especially, he was just amazing!
Completely agree about the mazepin thing... others not so much
Did you say, Mazepin...? 🤔🤭🤭
snuck in mazepin like we wouldnt notice
Mazepin would have won this race
If you thought this was thrilling, wait for drive to survive…
My thought exactly! 😂
Im gonna enjoy that baby alot!
In a pirated website ofc
If they can make previous seasons tense, this season is going to be amazing
Wasn't realistic at all g
max won’t participate drive to survive this year
I honestly don't care about the budget cap Thing. Max totally deserved to win and Mercedes totally deserved to lose
I am so happy for lewis, zero poles , zero wins in 2022! I hope he never wins anything again!
Verstappen fan girls found🤣🤣🤣
@@bilalahmedabadi7945 cope kid, keep crying about it, max verstappen's win lives rent free in your head for the rest of your miserable life
Toto: No, Mikey, no!
Števo Eisele, Slovak commentator (translated): *While Toto Wolff is crying*
I THANKS *CHECO* for his MASTERCLASS DEFENCE Against Lewis. THE FALLEN ANGEL that DEFINTELY DID his PART. MAXXXXXX You are a WORLD CHAMPION 2021
He earned that second year contract for sure.
Yes
Ha yh well done you didn't have to race, just collect a trophy and do nothing
It's correct!!!!!
Gracias Checo!!!!!
wut?
I can't explain what i was feeling that moment.
I can't even remember.
My whole body was shaking. This was absolutely incredible 🔥
it's the fact that you still don't know who is champion, the fact it might still be Lewis or Max.
it's the joy to see them race one final time this season, and with this joy comes sadness that this brilliant season comes to an end.
all the controversy, all the racing, all the frustration and happiness came through my mind during this lap.
all this emotions combined result in something that we won't see again for a long time.
Bro I overslept the final race, I can't do this no more...
2021 will go down in the history as one of the best season in formula 1 history
It’s gonna be remembered for the wrong reasons. The masi champion of 2021
I don't get tired of watching this video....
This was my first year watching formula 1. Everyone is saying it’s one of the best seasons ever. I screamed my house down today for Max. Incredible
Same for me! I found out about F1 earlier this March and was instantly hooked to the sport, I was rooting for Max to win especially after what happened to him in the Biritsh Grand Prix
Same mate same
It's a shame that's the only way max could win. Didn't deserve it. Was the slower car of the race.
@@golbs7542 lol u could sau the same about lewis half the season
And he deserves it! I don’t care about what Hamilton fans say. Verstappen was CHEATED at silverstone and Hungary, and Baku of course. Hamilton learned that what goes around comes around, and that his luck won’t last forever. With a new young teammate and a complete overhaul of rules, I think it’s reasonable to expect that Hamilton will NEVER get that 8th title. Praise the lord!
Latifi's name will be written in golden words in F1 history. Hats off to him♥️♥️♥️
Sambaar khao
Also Perez's classy defense for 5-6 seconds
The best man second to timo glock
MVP
He was the miracle Horner needed
I turned off my TV when the commentator said the race will be finished behind the safety car. So I missed this historical moment.
Me and you mate 😂😂😂 but i watched it 30 times after that
And we have got 3.2 miles of racing action all the way to the chequered flag. As the crowd roar the drivers on to the final lap of this race and Verstappen sets after Hamilton. Is it gonna be a first world championship for Verstappen? Is it gonna be an eighth world champonship for Lewis Hamilton? Where can Verstappen try and get past Hamilton? First overtaking zone is normally down into turn 5. Is Verstappen far enough back? He's gonna make that lunge down the inside, Hamilton sees him coming, it's a late lunge by Verstappen who takes the lead of the race. Verstappen now snatches the championship trophy by from Lewis Hamilton, whose trying to fight back. No DRS for two laps so, Lewis Hamilton will not get the rear wing open. Now he's gonna go down the outside. If Verstappen keeps it tight and neat.. But he hasn't, he's gone a little bit wide! This race, that sarted with controversy, has ended with controversy. (No, Michael! No, no Michael! That was so not right!) Here comes Lewis Hamilton though, down the back straight.. he's got a slipstream, he almost touches Verstappen, they almost made contact into turn 9. Verstappen stays ahead of Lewis Hamilton. Of all the drama, of all the controversy, of all the magic moments in Formula one in 2021. It comes down to this and in this moment, it looks like it's gonna go the way of Max Verstappen. Mercedes, not happy! Red Bull will be delighted! They have shared a brilliant championship battle. But the championship can only be won by one and it's going Dutch for 2021. MAX VERSTAPPEN FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, IS CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!!!! Lewis Hamilton finishes in second place after leading for so, so long.
Respekt
Such a commentary should almost have been scripted… but it was not…. Crofty is incredible.
I wonder if his voice went sore for the next month. So much screaming.
Oh look, races can end behind a safety car now ! 🤣
@@ok-dy2tz also in the past.
I was tense seeing Checo defend from Lewis like that. Then the final few laps under SC made me feel it was all for nothing...but this was intense. Really what makes a F1 Season. Well done to Max. 👌
That Checo and Lewis fight was amazing.
It was for nothing, he had 11.5secs... the SC did the job.
It was not for nothing, Lewis would have had a risk-free pitstop if Checo didn't fight Hamilton.
@@geev1733 well, it was not for nothing, here's why: a free pit stop for Hamilton. if Hamilton was not held up by Checo for such a long time Hamilton could've stretched his lead to where he could make a pitstop to fresher tyres and stay ahead of Max. so even if the SC would've come out, Lewis would also have been on fresher tyres and Max' overtake might not have been possible at all!
a lot of things were intense this race and a lot of strategic things could've gone different for a whole lot of reasons, but saying Checo did it for nothing is not the right conclusion to make 😉
@@geev1733 Time for Toto to take Latifi instead of Russel.
1:44 Verstappen’s drifting in the last curve just tells his whole season and how much he wanted and deserved this title.

Such an epic shot
imagine if he lost control of his car.
