The 2021 Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix has to be one of the most polarising races in a long time. The final result was Max Verstappen taking his maiden F1 title. Already, there have been several views on social media, and NASCAR Cup champion Kyle Larson is the latest to comment.
He said, “It sounds like they bent the rules a little bit to get a green finish, and it seems like that was their main goal. I don’t really know F1 well enough, but it doesn’t seem like they did it to help Max or anything like that. But they did make it exciting.”
