The Saudi Arabian F1 Grand Prix concluded with Lewis Hamilton triumphing ahead of Max Verstappen. Admittedly, it was a controversial and tense affair, as the two title contenders battled hard. In fact, many prominent sporting personalities were glued to their seats and watching the race. Among them were NASCAR living legend, Jimmie Johnson, and 23XI Racing driver Bubba Wallace.

The African-American driver was rooting for Lewis Hamilton, so he was thrilled when he won. Without a doubt, both drivers have massive respect for each other, due to their work in promoting diversity in racing. Wallace tweeted, “Get in there Lewis! What a nail biter! Congrats my brother!”

It was a nail-biting race between Hamilton and Verstappen, as the gloves were well and truly off. There were some questionable tactics on display during the race. Bubba Wallace also reacted to Verstappen’s on-track antics. Suffice to say, he was not impressed at all with the Dutchman.

Bubba Wallace will be keen to see the conclusion of this epic battle

With this victory, Hamilton is tied with Verstappen at the top of the championship standings. This means that at Abu Dhabi this weekend, neither of them will give or take any quarter. The Mercedes and Red Bull drivers will be at it hammer and tongs.

Bubba Wallace will definitely be in front of his TV, watching the race. However, reigning Cup Series champion, Kyle Larson will get an even better view of the race, as he is attending the F1 season finale at Abu Dhabi this weekend.
