Max Verstappen recently claimed he would have defeated Lewis Hamilton in the 2021 F1 season with a different car. This claim was made after he clinched his fourth consecutive world championship at the 2024 F1 Las Vegas GP.
2021 was one of the sport's most competitive seasons when Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton faced off against Red Bull and Max Verstappen for the drivers' and constructors' championships. Both drivers fought each other right from the start of the season on the first lap to the very last lap of the last race.
The entire fan base witnessed a tantalizing final lap of the Abu Dhabi GP as the battle for the drivers' title came down to it. However, a few dubious choices by race officials right before the end of the race led to the entire title fight being quite controversial.
