00:00No shifting, no shifting.
00:03And it got me.
00:04Maybe a bit of both.
00:05Hydronic issue then.
00:07For Antonio Giovinazzi.
00:09So one teammate in his final race in Formula One.
00:12And Wall at Red Bull.
00:13Hamilton then ahead of Verstappen.
00:15The gap under 16 seconds.
00:18Perez runs in third place ahead of Sainz and Norris.
00:20Bottas in sixth.
00:22Sonoda, Alonso, Gasly and Ocon.
00:24This is Fernando Alonso.
00:26That's how he got past Pierre Gasly.
00:28And that's how Gasly got repassed.
00:33Yeah, he tried to push me off.
00:35I was in front.
00:37In the corner breaking.
00:38So I feel good.
00:39That's an old message.
00:41Because Fernando would not have been speaking.
00:42As he went down the inside on Pierre Gasly.
00:45Ran himself off the track and over the kerb.
00:49As he did.
00:50Has emerged behind Lando Norris.
00:52Now this is all shaken out.
00:53And he's chasing the young Briton from Somerset very hard.
00:56Bottas looking like he's lining up for a move.
00:58On Lando Norris on much, much fresher tyres.
01:02And there goes Pierre Gasly on Fernando Alonso.
01:04And there is Esteban Ocon and Lando and Daniel Ricciardo.
01:09In the battle for the...
01:10So, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
01:13Has Lewis Hamilton still out in the lead.
01:1614.8 seconds was the gap.
01:19A couple of laps ago as the drivers crossed the line.
01:22Max Verstappen making his way round the final turn.
01:25As Lewis Hamilton heads down to...
01:27In some tracks, they would be the soft tyre.
01:30Depending on how many fast corners and heavy braking.
01:33Whoever they were fighting with didn't realise that I was coming through as well.
01:38And that is a bit of a problem.
01:41He was told by his engineer, he's got to be 8 tenths a lap faster than you to catch you.
01:46He's nowhere near fast enough in that respect as Max Verstappen at the moment.
01:50Now, once again, Red Bull are looking for something beyond their control to try and help bring them back into this race.
01:57They've had the virtual...
01:58It's just that back marker traffic, Lewis.
02:00He's going to have to get through it too.
02:03Hamilton then making his way through the cars about to be a lap.
02:07Verstappen will have to do that himself very soon as well.
02:10Christian Horner on that Red Bull pit wall.
02:13I don't know if you're struggling to watch this or not, Christian.
02:16But if you were tensing...
02:18Consistent pounding, in fact, Valtteri Bottas was the first one to find out, unfortunately for him.
02:25This is Lando Norris, currently down in 9th place.
02:30And down in 9th place because on the freshest set of the medium compound tyre,
02:35he's managed to...
02:36By those slight regulation changes.
02:38Well, that feels like a long time ago, doesn't it?
02:40But yes, Mercedes had an awful pre-season test, didn't they?
02:43We thought they would be in terrible trouble come the first race.
02:46Oh, no!
02:46Nicholas Latifi has crashed and I think that is at Turn 14 where we saw Kimi Räikkönen.
02:54Obviously because of the slow pace with five to go, that they'll probably have a lap or two.
03:01Laps in this race.
03:03Wait and see.
03:03This is what happened to Nicholas Latifi.
03:06He was scrapping away with Mick Schumacher.
03:10That's not the corner he crashed on, is it?
03:12That was earlier on, I think, in the skirmish with Schumacher.
03:17They barged wheels, went off the track, would have picked up a bit of dust and debris on his tyres.
03:23And then, the rear just lets go.
03:28Probably dirty tyres from being offline there.
03:30Will they, will we get any more racing laps or not?
03:35What jeopardy at the end of this Grand Prix, the end of this...
03:38fresher tyres, and we have got 3.2 miles of racing action all the way to the chequered flag.
03:46As the crowd roar the drivers on to the final lap of this race.
03:51And Verstappen sets off the Hamilton.
03:53Is it going to be a first world championship for Verstappen?
03:57Is it going to be an eighth world championship for Lewis Hamilton?
03:59Where can Verstappen try and get past Hamilton?
04:03First overtaking zone is normally down in the turn five.
04:06Is Verstappen far enough back, he's going to make the lunge down the inside.
04:10Hamilton sees it coming.
04:11It's a late lunge by Verstappen, who takes the lead of the race.
04:15Verstappen now snatches the championship trophy from Lewis Hamilton, who's trying to fight back.
04:21No DRS for two laps, so Lewis Hamilton will not get the rear wing open.
04:26Now he's going to go down the outside.
04:28Verstappen keeps it tight and knee, but he hasn't.
04:31He's got a little bit wide.
04:33This race that started with controversy is ending with controversy.
04:37No, no, Mike.
04:38That was so not right.
04:39Here comes Lewis Hamilton, though.
04:41Down the back straight.
04:42He's got a slipstream.
04:43He almost touches Verstappen.
04:45They almost make contact into turn nine.
04:47Verstappen stays ahead of Lewis Hamilton.
04:50Of all the drama, of all the controversy, of all the magic moments in Formula One in 2021,
04:56it comes down to this.
04:59And at this moment, it looks like it's going to go the way of Max Verstappen.
05:04Mercedes not happy.
05:06Red Bull will be delighted.
05:08They have shared a brilliant championship battle, but the championship can only be won by one.
05:14And it's going Dutch in 2021.
05:17Max Verstappen, for the first time ever, is champion of the world.
05:23Lewis Hamilton finishes in second place after leading for so, so long.
05:29But these last moments are going to be taught.
05:32And Max Verstappen's way.
05:34Ted Kravitz down in the pit lane.
05:36Well, emotions after emotion after emotion.
05:39It's pandemonium.
05:40Christian Horner is crying his eyes out.
05:42Jos Verstappen is already wearing a Max Verstappen world champion t-shirt.
05:47And at the Mercedes garage, they are shell-shocked.
05:49Toto Wolff has just dropped his head.
05:52He can't believe it.
05:53He's talking to Susie Wolff, his wife.
05:56They're all asking each other what is going on.
05:58They're shaking their heads.
05:59They are in disbelief.
06:00Two seconds, Ted.
06:01This is unbelievable, guys.
06:03Can we do this for another 10, 50 years together?
06:07Right, honestly.
06:10They're in disbelief that Mercedes Horner has gone up to the Mercedes pit wall to shake.
