World No. 4 Stefanos Tsitsipas was extremely excited about the final race of the F1 season, to say the least. The Greek had fully been supporting Lewis Hamilton’s rival Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing for the championship.

Once Verstappen cleared the final lap ahead of rival Lewis Hamilton and won the championship, Tsitsipas was ecstatic. He was on the ground with the Red Bull Racing team from the beginning of the day.

Stefanos Tsitsipas celebrated Max Verstappen’s championship

Heading into the ultimate race at the Yas Marina Circuit for the end of the 2021 F1 season, Stefanos Tsitsipas had already picked sides. The 7-time ATP title winner fully supported the Dutchman for the 2021 championship race.

This was quite understandable, as both Stefanos Tsitsipas and Max Verstappen are Red Bull athletes. “I think he stands out because he’s someone that’s very competitive, you can see it in his eyes,” Tsitsipas had earlier told Eurosport.

Clearly stating his support for Max, Tsitsipas had said, “I’m rooting for Max. I hope he wins the title and makes us all proud.” Max Verstappen then went on to win his first championship yesterday, defeating Lewis Hamilton in a controversial last lap.

Subsequently, Stefanos, who was on the team as a guest from Red Bull, went ecstatic, sharing videos on social media.
