Max Verstappen today became a Formula One champion for the first time - and in doing so stopped Lewis Hamilton from beating Michael Schumacher's title record.
Today however, Max Verstappen struggled to contain his emotions after becoming F1 world champion in sensational fashion at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Having pitted twice already, and with nothing to lose, Verstappen changed tyres a third time but it seemed futile when race control instructed that lapped cars could not overtake the safety car until it left the track - meaning the 24-year-old would have to get through several cars to reach Hamilton on the final lap.
