Unfortunately for Lewis Hamilton, despite the best of his efforts, things were just not meant to be for him at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2021. Overtaking Max Verstappen in lap one itself of the season finale, the Brit looked set to bring home a famous win, one which would crown him the champion for a record eighth time.

However, destiny and FIA race director Michael Masi had other plans for him with the 53rd lap seeing things turnaround drastically for him. As Nicholas Latifi ended up crashing into the barrier with five laps to go, the safety lap was deployed, a period Red Bull made the most of by inserting fresh soft tyres onto Max Verstappen’s car.
