My heart has never pounded so fast while sitting still as it did on the last lap of the last race of that season.

[@bryanstrider]

Formula 1 works based on points. If you win a race, you get 25pts, 2nd gets 18pts, 3rd 15pts, 4th 12pts.. In 2021, Hamilton and Verstappen went into the last race tied at 369.5 each. Never before this has happened in 75 years of this sports history. Verstappen ended up overtaking Hamilton in the LAST lap of the race, winning his first championship beating out a 7 time F1 world champ Hamilton.

[@hb-kw4mr]

I was jumping up and down during that last lap. Im 33 years old. 😂

[@AlexPavelka]

For the winner takes all question: there's 20ish races (23 this year) each race is a Grand Prix and first place get 25 points then 18,15,12... and it gets less points each place. So the reason it was winner take all for this race is it came down to who ever won that last race would have the most points in the championship tournament(all the grand prixs put together) so it was the battle between the two best and either Hamilton was going to break records and win an 8th world championship or Verstappen was going to win his first world championship

[@bassmunk]

AND Hamilton was a bit behind on points and HAD to win 4 races in a row to catch up to Verstappen. Which is exactly what he did! 🤯 Which meant that at the last race they had exactly the same points! The intensity for the last 5 races just kept ramping up! It was insane!

Tell the drivers to adjust settings like suspension stiffness, or %of KERS to use and where, or switching off certain sensors that have failed.

21-23 races per year with points awarded 1st to tenth. Most points end of the season wins a drivers title or a constructors title (for the teams). Fastest lap in a race scores a point as well.

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

Lewis Hamilton had equaled the previous record of 7 World Championships, and was fighting to break that record. Max Verstappen was fighting for his first. Before the final race, they were equal in points. The final race would decide who became F1 World Champion, which is crazy in itself. Most championships are decided several races before the last. Lewis was ahead for pretty much the entire race, then 3 laps before the finish there was a crash which meant a pace car (safety car) was sent out. Lewis being in the lead couldn't risk a pitstop because that would mean giving up his position. Max did pit and went for fresh soft tires. The second to last lap it became clear that the safety car was going to come in and there would be one last race lap left. Lewis in 1st on old rubber, and Max in 2nd on fresh softs directly behind him. The championship would be decided in the very last lap of the very last race. In turn 6 Verstappen overtook Hamilton and became the race leader. Hamilton launched a counter attack but was on the outside line. Max held the inside and won the race and the championship.

To give a bit of context to why max slowed down so much at 9:28, it’s because he was supposed to give a place back to lewis, because he gained an unfair advantage due to leaving the track. The part where they were driving is a very long straight, it’s the perfect part to give lewis his place back. Apparently lewis’s team didn’t give lewis this information, although they knew because teams can listen to other teams’ radio’s, and information like that get’s directly provided. So lewis had no idea max was going to slow down, and max though that lewis was going to overtake him so he kept slowing down, and that’s why they collided there

It is a rivalry because they are by far the 2 best drivers in the field by far. I think in Max’s first few years Hamilton was not a fan of max because of his aggressive driving style that some people seen at the time as unsportsmanlike, they said max was a reckless driver. I think over time Lewis has gained respect for Max because Max is the only driver in the past 10 years to actually challenge Lewis and have the same commitment and dedication to winning that Lewis has. Watching them race each other would be like if Kobe and Jordan’s careers overlapped. A lot of people see Lewis as the greatest racer of all time but Verstappen is here to take over.

[@carriew5106]

Sorry, I disagree with what you have said quite a lot. Lewis has said the driver he respects most that he has raced against is 4 time world champion Seb Vettel. The rivalry between Nico Rosberg and Lewis was stronger in my view and even more dramatic because they were in the same team. Nico has admitted that he put so much effort into winning he couldn't do any more which is why he retired. They were friends throughout their junior careers but now they can barely be civil. But by far the biggest rivalry will be between Lewis and Fernando Alsono whether they were team mates or not. Lewis doesn't respect Max because in his early years he made dangerous moves, which resulted in fans online dubbing him crashtappen. Lewis would just give him a wide berth and didn't need to race hard against him because he was so dominant. And many other drivers have said the same about Max so it isn't a personal rivalry. 2021 was different because Lewis changed up his style (which he has done a few times over his career) and started to drive as aggressively as Max. It didn't end well. Max talks about enjoying racing against Charles because he knows that Charles isn't anywhere near as aggressive, and makes the occasional mistake. But without a shadow of a doubt the most ruthless and commitment driver to winning is Fernando Alonso. By miles. And has been since he started. Max isn't quite at Fernando's skill level yet, but it doesn't matter because Fernando doesn't have the car.

[@ecstasyecs]

Lewis said his favorite rivalry was with Seb and Seb recently (last week?) said his favorite was Lewis. I think Lewis v Max was literally just dirty from Silverstone until Abu Dhabi. Before Silverstone they probably had some respect for one another but it went away after that. Maybe for Max during the race because of the crash and for Lewis after the race when RB started spewing their hate campaign against him. I also think Monza was a turning point for Lewis’ feelings towards Max.

F1's system of "points" are something like; the higher the position the more points you get. most points win the championship. there are 2 types of championships. the drivers (the ones who race on track) and the constructors (the team that makes the cars example-Ferrari, Mercedes, RedBull etc). the points scoring system - only 10 out of 20 drivers will be able to get points in a race weekend. higher race finish = more points. ( 1st - 25 / 2nd - 18 / 3rd - 15 / 4th -12 / 5th - 10 / 6th - 8 / 7th - 6 / 8th - 4 / 9th - 2 / 10th - 1 ) if two of the same teams' drivers finish in points it adds up to the drivers scoring system and the constructors. for example if 2 drivers from the same team got 6pts and 8pts the total points their constructors get are 14. but for the drivers it just adds up to their scoring system (most pts gets championship. There are a lot more to what I can add such as Practice, Qualifying and how the race weekends work but that'd be to long for what I already explained. You can just ask me any questions and I'd love to answer them. Loved the video!

This particular season had 23 races (it can vary year by year a bit as tracks run out their contract or new tracks get added). The top 10 finished get points in a race, with 25 points going to the winner, 18 to second place, 15 to third etc. Another point gets awarded to the racer with the fastest lap each race. At the end of the season the driver with the most points is crowned the champion.

[@DenDave_]

This season was epic for a few reason; Hamilton was trying for his record breaking 8th title while Verstappen was aiming for his 1st. Verstappen for a few seasons already had been the only driver capable of keeping up with the Mercedes' despite their dominance and this season for the first time had a car that could truly match them. Throughout the season they were going head to head, exchanging wins and swapping spells of good form. Throughout the season there were moments of controversy to both drivers as they collided with the other. Even post-race or off the track there were instances that were regarded disrespectful, such as Hamilton celebrating his win at Silverstone rather flamboyantly when he punted Verstappen into the hospital that same race. But most importantly of all, after 22 races both drivers were on exactly the same amount of points, meaning the final race of the season was a winner-takes-all scenario. And given the intense drama and controversy, this was the craziest scenario possible for such a season.

That title decider was one of the most controversial races in motorsport history.

So, each race, the top 10 finishers are awarded Championship points, that count towards both the Drivers (WDC) and Constructors (WCC) Championship, 25 for first, then 18 for 2nd, 15 for 3rd, then 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1. There is also a point awarded to the person with the Fastest Lap in the Race. Last year was insane, in that both Hamilton and Verstappen ended up on level points going into the final Race of the Season. A lot of crazy stuff happened last season that probably shouldn't have, F1 lost it's long running Race Director (the person who oversees the Race and makes decisions in Penalties and Safety Cars and the like), Charlie Whiting (RIP). His replacement, Michael Massi, somehow had to keep a lid on this massive championship rivalry and started making some botched decisions that ended up in his firing after the crazy final Race. They're still having trouble finding a replacement and it's a point of contention this season with drivers not happy with the way it's being run. I guess it's always going to be difficult with 600 pages of Rules that are open to interpretation. Also, entirely new Car designs this year, so all the teams are trying to find the best way to design the car, last year was the end of that itteration of F1 Car, so all the Cars had converged to the same design points and were incredibly reliable and quick. This years reset has slowed the Cars down some in favour of being able to follow eachother more closely to create better racing action. There is a race this weekend, the French GP, maybe just dive in and watch it

each year is the best team vs another best team, there are only 10 different teams, each build a different car, it's not like indy where you have the same car for all the drivers, therefore if a team gets the development right could dominate dor decades, like mercedes from 2014 to 2020, it's kinda unpredictible, each year a new team could rise to victory, this season was epic because redbull since 2016 was catching up to mercedes, and in 2021 they built the best car and he beat Lewis hamilton the 7th time world champion

[@dunsonhouse]

Appreciate your comment family

[@nikifqkahp4474]

I recommend u too se some highlights, the speed more than 300 km/h, any incidents, overtakes, master class defense and uk the sport

[@alberttaylor644]

Every race is a rivalry for the podium. Its about being number one. Its nice if a team can take two spots on the podium to help in the constructors championship. If a driver crashes his car during qualifying, its a good chance the mechanics can rebuild the car by the next day. There are times when drivers do not want to give up position during the race. Races can also be won and lost due to slow pit stops and poor strategy.

[@hugokloeppel3596]

2021 was a great season

[@biondakersemakers4016]

It all depends on points. When you win a race you get 25 points, 2nd place is 18 points and 3rd place is 15 points and everybody who finishes in the top 10 gets points. P 10 at the finish means 1 point.

[@papje]

You guys should just check out a few races these bits don't show enough and check the "first drive to survive " on netflix

[@theparkster1542]

I know this video is 7 months old, but if you were confused about why Hamilton was all alone by the starting lights, its because everyone decided to change their tyres so they started from the pitlane. This was all after a red flag caused in lap 1 as you see right before this

[@irisbowforest9199]

the World championship works via points. when you win a race you get 25 points, 18 for second, 15 for third. they get lower and lower, if you come 10th place or less then you get pretty much 0 points. so the person with the most points at the end of the season wins the world championship.

[@DoubleD_83]

Hahaa, Mooky stoned as fuck. Good to you 🤣

[@TheBazino]

Races are ~300 kilometers each. Laps depend on race track length. So you can have races with 4x-8x laps. Rivalries can be crazy depending on drivers. You need to know that most seasons just 1 or 2 out of 10 teams are actually competitive enough to win the title. We've had a couple years in a row where either Red Bull or Mercedes or Ferrari were so much better than the rest that is was clear who would win. In the 2021 season Red Bull and Mercedes were in their own league and the battle between Hamilton and Verstappen literally went until the last lap of the last race!!! The closest and most exciting F1 season of my lifetime. I had not watched for years before it because it had been boring, but since 2021 the F1 is AMAZING again and most of that has to do with Verstappen being a "what is a brake pedal again?" type driver. Unfortunately the F1 is writing new rules in the name of "safety" against Verstappen. So far we've got 3 Lex Verstappens already and all made things more boring again. F1 is in seasons. 20+ races. If you place 1-10th you get points. The 1st gets 25 points, the 10th gets 1 point. Total points at the end of the season means you are world champion. Additionally the teams (aka constructors) get the same points, just for both their drivers added together. Those points get the teams A LOT of money awarded from the F1, so it's very important for smaller teams to at least get into the first 10 places in a couple of races.

[@wilmracin]

They get points if they finish in the top 10 out 20 drivers

[@lalithmalhaar]

Ay yo y'all should do a reaction to Brazil GP 2021

[@justinm.1]

2021 was definitely a controversial season

[@benedictavania5332]

While it's true that there is rivalry between Max and Lewis, their rivalry isn't even close to being legendary compares to Lewis' rivalry with his teammate Nico Rosberg who remains the only teammate to ever beaten Lewis Hamilton and became World Champion in 2016 with the same engine. If you're interested in their rivalry, there is a good video called Origins of The Silver War by FLoz. Other rivalries between teammates like Prost vs Senna, Vettel vs Webber are also very interesting. I also recommend you to watch some of the most brilliant drivers like Fernando Alonso who won the WDC in 2005 and 2006, Michael Schumacher who won the WDC in 1994-1995 and 2000-2004, Sebastian Vettel who won WDC in 2010-2013 (my personal favorite btw). The story of Brawn GP team winning in 2009 is also incredible and reminds me of Leicester winning Prem in 2015/2016. Anyway been enjoying all of your reactions, keep grinding mate. Your videos always make my day. Sorry if my comment is too long.

[@MrCringe101i]

Here’s a quick explanation There are 20 drivers for 10 teams, there’s a drivers championship and a constructors (teams) championship. The higher a driver finishes a race, the more points they get, and points are awarded for the top 10 from 25 points (1st) to 1 points (10th). There is also a point for fastest lap of the race, (top ten only) There are 22 races (this year) and each race goes for around 305 kilometers. Shorter circuits will have more laps because the full race needs to be at that aforementioned 305 kilometers full distance. The championship goes race after race, with no tournament-style championship, all drivers compete for all races, whoever scores the most points wins the championship. I’ll grandly elaborate on anything else that you need to know, just let me know.

[@lou-zs1dz]

loved the reaction, you guys should absolutely watch more formula 1!!

[@mitchmay3867]

They use a points system over the 23 races of the season. 25 to win, 18 for second, they where so even they where equal on points going in to the final race meaning the person that finished a head of them would win

[@WelshAmethystGirl087]

Yes I'm here for this, I watch the entire season and it was edge of the seat fantastic. Last race was just another level

[@TheTororist]

lewis was dominating the whole race. it wasnt very exciting. until the race director messed with his own rules on the last lap and cost himself his job

[@WelshAmethystGirl087]

@@TheTororist it was exciting to me sue me

[@jordaan80]

Formula 1 works on a point system. The top 10 finishers of the race earn points for themselves in the Drivers Championship, and points for their team in the constructors championship. So the higher you finish the higher the points you score. Max and lewis were equal on points due to them wining or coming in the points in a similar manner, so it was a rare situation where they were equal in the last race, so In that instance it was winner takes all

[@Endless-River]

The F1 car is quite tricky to get into reverse because it, for some cars, requires specific button presses or most cars have a tiny reverse paddle which can be difficult to find if you haven't had to engage it in a while (that's why it took quite a bit of time for Lewis to begin reversing). If you put the throttle on too hard during a reverse the torque can actually throw the gravel out and beach the car pretty instantly if not done correctly. F1 cars also have terrible turning circles compared to regular cars which is why Lewis drove into it trying to steer out.

[@sahibdhinsa1342]

To get some insight into f1 especially if you’re new to the sport watch drive to survive on Netflix. It’s a good watch for new fans !

[@silas2350]

The most intense sport in the world, These teams, some of them with immense heritage from the very beginning of the sport, go behind closed doors for months in the off season, then hit testing with cars that are so closely matched (mostly) they lap within thousandths of a second of each other. Races on every continent on some of the greatest tracks in the world, Multi Multi millions of investment and sponsorship make it an incredible spectacle. That`s before you start to understand the rivalries and pit lane dynamics that you just witnessed. Toto Wolff and Cristian Horner and their relevant teams, are absolutely just as passionate and committed as the drivers are on track, races can be decided on the pit wall or at the pit stop very easily. Testing starts this weekend with the season start on Mar 5th in Bahrain.

[@Jezza255]

This video does not do the season justice lads, sign up to F1 TV, I think its like $5 dollars for the month, they have every race from that season and you can watch them all in full.... But they also allow you watch every race from other previous seasons also..... Its well worth the fee if you're getting into F1 and want to see full on races

[@SebazTakez11]

Aye love the channel, But you guys should check the F1 video by " Formula 1 Edits - That Night in Abu Dhabi " it's alot better than this one. It's like Tom Brady v Patrick Mahomes ( Lewis v Max )

[@adamn7125]

That Latifi crash should've been in the video to give these guys a fuller picture and to show them who the real goat is

[@jackznt3785]

F1 is scored by Points per Race. Top 10 get points each race and at the end of the season whoever has the most pts is the Champ

[@carlosaugustus4789]

One of the Best rivalry in the history of F1. Certainly at the same spot as Senna x Prost. Marx had alien races like the France one, and Lewis just showed why he is one of the best of all time like at Brazil, beginning the weekend in last position, and finishing at P1. Today, we just pray to see Lewis having a competitive car again to see this rematch. Two of the very best in history fighting for the championship again. This season was so intense, they arrived the last race with the same number of points, Lewis was being champion until one of the last laps, when a slow car crashed and changed everything with the Safety Car. You can be a Marx fan or a Lewis fan (like I am), but can't deny that both of them deserve a rematch, because, like Nikki Lauda would say: "they need each other to become even better"

[@Angelbonilla1982]

The final race was abu dabhi Yas San marina they were both tied in championship race, it 2as epic finale!!

[@drilled4798]

This video is just a fraction of how intense and drama filled last years season was between Lewis and Max but im glad you guys saw least some of it

[@joethakidddhk83]

we upppp

[@BapeStarr14]

Yall need to get in to this race! They had equal points at the end and this was the last race! The one with the most points would be Champ

[@bcrane2010]

Last year Lewis and max went right down to the last lap of the season. And they slowly started to hate each other as they kept wrecking each other

[@eidkhalif3985]

Bro we need more reacts on football

[@DavidsSanity]

To put this in nba terms its like Lebron coming back from 3-1 vs Golden state it’s that massive of a feat with Mercedes winning for 7 years straight

[@nsmiller0807]

You guys need to watch the last lap of the last race for 2021. This video didn’t show the drama

[@julianruss7958]

A season goes for +20 races with the top 10 getting points (plus one extra point for fastest lap). There are also 3 sprint races (25% of the actual race) with the top 8 getting points. The big situation was that in the final race Max and Lewis were one point apart in the standings, that's why the winner took all. The duell between the 2 was full of highlights, controversies (especially the final race). To understand the sport it would be the best to watch indiviual races and soak up as much as possible. Drive to Survive on Netflix could be helpful as well, even though it's more about storytelling.

[@dunsonhouse]

Appreciate you family

[@Dutchempireball]

you mean 1/3

[@user-ri9dn4vi6i]

They had equal points before Abu Dhabi 2021

[@silentios7336]

63 laps means that's about 300km(186miles) on that circuit. All grand prix are about that 300km(186miles) and have laps accordingly. Some have only 50 laps others can go has high as 80.

[@lukegallo7987]

Check out the video like 10-15 min long on their rivalry great video
