The finale: Who will be World Drivers Champion 2021?

Abu Dhabi. It’s the final race of the season. Everything is still up for grabs. It couldn’t be any more high-stake.

The veteran, Lewis Hamilton is the 7 time champion of the world, currently tied with the legend Michael Schumacher; but the Brit is looking for his 8th championship so he can be crowned the outright king of F1, just one more record to add to his name.

The young gun, Max Verstappen is a charging bull, aiming to be world champion for the first time. He is looking to join the other greats before him. He’s equalled the record for the most podiums in a season, finishing 1st or 2nd in 17 races this season. The championship would be the icing on the cake.

It’s been an intense battle from start to finish. The title lead switching 5 times during the course of the season. Two rivals going head to head to get the glory. It’s never been closer. The two protagonists go into the finale level on points, this feat only achieved once before in the past 71 years of Formula 1.

This means everything. And for one man, it will be everything. Sunday, we crown a champion. Don’t miss it.
