Keeping that in mind, it was no surprise she was present for the season finale in Abu Dhabi supporting Verstappen. Verstappen and Red Bull had already won both championships with three races to spare. However, that did not dilute the Red Bull world champion’s hunger as he cruised to yet another victory.
