Trevor Noah Faces Backlash From F1 Fans as Tweet on Lewis Hamilton’s Abu Dhabi GP Defeat Resurfaces

The 2022 Formula One season is just around the corner, but it seems the flames of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix are not going to extinguish any time soon this year. As fans are again talking about the incident that took place between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.

The title-deciding 2021 season finale was a neck-to-neck battle bottle between Hamilton and Verstappen. Eventually, Verstappen ended up lifting his maiden Championship while denying Hamilton his record eighth World Championship.

But fans and many F1 pundits believed that Lewis lost the race because of race director Michael Masi’s decision for a late-race safety car. Further, FIA later removed Masi as the race director and established a new body to conduct races in 2022.

But, the race director and F1 received plenty of criticism from fans all around the globe after the incident. One such criticism was by South African comedian, Trevor Noah, who dropped a sarcastic tweet on his Twitter about this incident.

As soon as the tweet dropped, it got huge attention from his and F1 fans. But the old tweet is again resurfacing in 2022 just ahead of the Bahrain pre-season testing.

Many F1 fan pages are sharing the tweet; therefore, many fans again responded to the tweet by the South African comedian.
