Verstappen ends F1 season with 15th win

A year after one of the most controversial finishes in the history of Formula One, the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was anything but.

Max Verstappen, as usual this season, was far ahead of the rest on Sunday on his way to a record-extending 15th win of the season.

“Incredible to win again here, 15th win of the season is unbelievable,” Verstappen said.

“It’s been really enjoyable to work with the whole team and to be able to achieve something like this, this year.”

At the track where he beat Lewis Hamilton last year — after a restart call that is still hotly disputed to this day –Verstappen held off his teammate Sergio Perez at the start and didn’t face a serious challenge after that in the season-ending race.
