This year’s Australian Grand Prix is bound to go down as one of the most exciting races ever! Even though in terms of pure upsets or underdogs there’s nothing new here, however, the most recent development to the race has guaranteed its status. 2x champion, Max Verstappen was comfortably out in the lead of the race when Kevin Magnussen‘s retirement forced a late red flag.

That isn’t all though. Verstappen was visibly frustrated as he came onto the team comms and was quoted as saying, “What the f*ck do you mean a red flag?” Naturally, his reaction is understandable. His arch-nemesis, Lewis Hamilton is now right behind him at the restart. Is this payback for Abu Dhabi?

Just a year and a bit before, Verstappen was rejoicing in a situation similar to this in Abu Dhabi. But it would appear that the Dutch lion isn’t too pleased about tasting his own medicine.

Finally, the 7x champion has a chance to get one back on Verstappen, who arguably denied him the crowning achievement of his illustrious F1 career.
