Idk if it's just me but I can't seem to get enough of the rewinds for the last lap of the race
same here
Same here mate can watch this even 1000times
Why? It wasn't a race. It was a fix and that's all. Hamilton was mugged and as a black person I will never watch the F1 racist shitshow again.
@@stephenpiper5604 who cares if you watch f1 or not
@@franian77 what do you mean?
The way GP calmly says “This is it, this is it” gives me chills every time.
I know, and then watching them creep around the corner side by side is just awesome.
Yeah same every time when i hear it i get chills
My Adrenaline goes through the roof at hearing that.. every. single. time!!
Who is GP?
@@ramirocorzo5784 GP is the nickname of Verstappens Race engineer
I remember watching this live when the "lapped cars may now overtake" happened. It was an epic helicopter shot showing all the cars passing by and Verstappen rolling up right behind Hamilton under the lights. I have legitimately never felt that adrenaline outside of a movie where the two rivals got right next to each other for one last lap.
It was a smart move by FIA
Do you have this helicopter clip? I don’t remember it yet I was watching live
Magical words: lapped cars may now overtake
@@azzallin999 Too bad it were ONLY the cars between Hamilton and Verstappen that were allowed to overtake! Only them!! SCANDAL!!!!!!!!
@@grossmeister1181and it was so epic. The best part was: it's a motorrace Toto, we went car racing.
Never been a Lewis fan. But the way he and his dad conducted themselves after the race was pure class.
I wish his little brother had the same attitude
Would have been nice if Toto would have showed the same sportsmanship. (like he said he would before the race...)
And f1 handled it like clowns 😂
He snubbed the prize giving ceremony and disappeared from the public eye for months. He's a literal child.
@@chakalaka3960 stay broke u hater
That oversteer at the last turn gave me goosebumps, looked like he's losing the rear-end.
Nah, he was just powersliding. He also did it in Monaco.
I would have killed myself if that would gave happened tbh.
I know, that could’ve been another Saudi Arabia
The F1 gods had made up their minds already.
It’s his signature move, but the fact he has that much confidence to do it at that moment is crazy…
Max didn't overtake under safety car, he just showed his shiny new tires to Lewis
Hahahaha! That's awesome!
hahaha simply lovely
Lol 😂
Gave him a warning shot
Yes he did 😀😀
2:29 this part still gives me goosebumps every time, Hamilton and Verstappen just slowly coming around the corner for that last shootout!!
@coolboombox Facts I always love watching that part it still enthralls me now lol
"This is it, this is it" from Maxs engineer is just so fitting of there was only one shot at victory and everything came down to this final lap! EPIC!!!
@@matrix35 Well, with fresh soft tires and the FIA behind, that was easier for him to overtake than anything else...
Hadn’t watched F1 for years and this race got me back into it.
Goosebumps at that scene you’re talking about.
With those millions in bank how else they would have behaved?
THIS final lap still gives me GOOSEBUMPS. How emotionally it was at the end. Just speechless
2:30, seeing Max and Lewis come round the corner there at about 10mph. Seemed like something out of an old Western movie! Absolute chills
Hamilton was trying to pull something there. 🤣🤣🤣 But definitely added to the tension to see them side by side
I dont think it was 10mph, more like 50mph
BatChest
@@e.t926 More like 10mph
epic moment i've ever seen
That "This is it... This is it...." Goosebumps me out.
Literally the reason why I keep coming back to this
That was so cold
Me too....destiny
GP is an ice-cold master. History made right there and he knew how to spur his man on.
While hearing shouts of excitment in the background
Almost 2 years later, and still gives me goosebups
Same
2:29 THIS WAS IT!
No matter how often you watch this with the background sound, you're gonna get goosebumps.
Absolutely insane season end, at the final lap my heart was literally pumping out of my chest 😂
And what robbery that was!
@@OmarZ77 😢😢🤣🤣
I could literally feel my heart beating on that last lap
@@OmarZ77 lol cry.... they favored Hamilton all year so he shouldn't have even been that close in points.
@@OmarZ77 honeslty just shut up about it lol. This wasnt the only reason to why Max became the champ
Still can’t get over that crazy last lap. Definitely one for the ages.
I'm actually still recovering. Every time I see this clip I get goosebumps.
@@martinblomqvist1870 _For 53 rounds it was an uneven battle but that crash and MV who pitted turned the tide completely and it was game over for LH. Dilemma.... Leading, with advantage to start the last round but on 43 rounds old tyres or giving up the lead but with MV the advantage to start the last round. What about that huge door LH left open with MV behind him....unbelievable.
It's for the motor race. Spelled out in the open on the radio.
@@nlx78 get out of here with that b.s. novice... there is nothing wrong with what he did as there was plenty of room...
This moment really cemented the status of the GOAT Latifi.
There are many great F1 drivers from each era, but none with similiar ability whose his action would be so determental for not only that one race, but whole season and possibly in history
That slide at the last corner always gives me goosebumps.
It was not supposed to be a final lap! Mercedes had the championship won but toto agreed to have a final lap after F1 let Max overtake the safety car.
Even Crofty the veteran commentator that he is, was absolutely going insane!
The thrill/excitement in his voice reaching new fever pitch levels.
He is a biased brit. Brundle on the other hand is much more interesting to listen to.
@@vijaykapoor2931 no
crofty constantly gets a lot of critique for yelling too much. That's pretty normal for him.
Crofty actually (for once) got the commentary bang on for that last lap!
@@vijaykapoor2931 I think he likes Max more than many realise. He was hoping after Saudi quali that Max wouldn't get a gearbox pen and therefore grid drop. He also was super excited and loving the racing on the last lap. At least this season he was not as biased as some claim
amazing how quiet both of them were during the safety car confusion. shows unreal focus from them towards the last racing lap
Hi Dylan Winter.
Hi Dylan Winter.
Dude, just want to say _hi_ (Think you should turn notifications off)
Max was talking about the cars not un lapping themselves idk why they didn't put it in
BTW...it would be interesting to know pulse rate of both the driver during this last lap
Whenever I feel a bit down, I always watch this. It makes me happy 😂😂
This Lap will go down in F1 history as the greatest ever. Just unbelievable!!
Couldn’t agree more. The lap that decided the championship!
@@billoddy5637 yeah because the rules were broken...would be much more interesting if Masi wasnt scared of Horner and allowed fair race
@@jorgelorenzoenjoyer yeah unlap everyone earlier and still get a lap in of racing
@@user-ww9pd2rz4e either that or easily red flag the race. Everyone gets fresh tires and you get the best finish in last 10 years
@@jorgelorenzoenjoyer there was no barrier damage for a red flag, neither was the car I two pieces
“Its called the motor race” the best answer ever 😅
Mic Drop. :)
Lol
It's called 'race fixing'
@@ND9HighlightsComps 🥲
@@ND9HighlightsComps No Michael Noooooo
"no Michael, no no Michael, that was so not right!" - best line of the whole season 😂😂
Masi's response back is better
But he was right to say it, it wasn't right to pull in the safety care while the back lapped cars were going around the track, it is writtening in the regulations that the SC has to wait 1 lap to get to the back of the pack
It was pretty shocking, albeit I cannot hear his Austrian accent. Film version players by Arnold Schwarznegger.
Still, they robbed Hamilton 100%.
As I say....
Max deserved to be champion.
Lewis should have been champion.
And the most accurate.
@@klzeccwozi1290 woah dude. So cocky. Doesn't make you any different either. 13 s lead and then you bend the rules for some Netflix finale? Cmmon dude
That race did more for F1 than anything else in the last 30 years.

Kinda ruins your argument doesn’t it
@@Michael-pi8ps not even close.
@@Michael-pi8ps aah. The fans of s🅱️inmeister
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the last time we'll hear max excited about a wdc :'D
Glad Alex got a moment there. He apparently helped Red Bull massively in terms of getting data and you could describe him pretty much as the third driver who helped max clinch the championship. Great teamwork from all three drivers: Max, Sergio and Alex.
Couldn't have said that better👍
Completely agree, except it’s not Alex. I’ve seen countless people saying it’s Alex, just following the crowd. If you actually properly listen to the whole thing you’ll realise it’s GP going crazy, something we never hear - apparently Max confirmed it.
what did albon help??
@@waffdev It’s definitely Albon.
@@waffdev thissss!! that was definitely GP
Not long ago we had Seb’s version of radio rewind. I guess we’ll see this again 10 years later
Hopefully we'll get 9 years of not gifted world championships in between :)
@@MarcelB787 Yeah because fia tried really hard to gift it to lewis and mercedes after silverstone and hungary, not to mention mercedes "magically" (cheating) making the car faster in the end and Lewis not getting a big fat penalty in the last race for not giving the position back to Max.
No more easy wins for Mercedes 😂

Because of new tyres he had confidence and that too for only one lap.

Because it's only a month old. How would it get old that quickly?
@@goddessofstealth2417 but still best, R U cry ?
@@BruceWayne-wz4og first of all, what? And second of all, I made a valid point. It hasn't gotten old and won't get old because it's only been like two months old.

@@jaydendylanweylin my point was, it can NOT get old because at the time the comment was written, the video was only a month old, and it's still only four months old now. Come back some 10 or so years, and my point will be invalid.
I'm an on and off fan of F1 but this race gave me goosebumps
Actually thanks to Masi, we witnessed the greatest end to a season. But sadly he is equally hated for that decision.
Bro Obviously, Lewis was robbed, tell me its not coincidence that Only the 5 lapped cars are allowed to Unlap themselves and not all, including Stroll, Stroll even is confused cuz why cant he Unlap himself?
@@Fury_Knights no. He was not robbed. Redbull took the gamble of changing tyres before the safety car where Merc didn't. In the end, it was this gamble that paid off. Not because of Masi's decision.
@@krishnaasaurab they took the gamble cuz they have nothing to lose, while Lewis cant Risk anything, but Then FIA chose to just let 5 lapped Cars and those were the 5 cars between Max and Lewis
@@krishnaasaurab merc didnt pit because they weren't allowed to. Lewis deserve the win, Verstappen deserve the championship.
@WahLeed Lewis also did not deserve. he made a illegal overtake in the beginning of the race but he didnt give the position
4:25 That tiny powerslide by Max at the last corner was a little too much for comfort
He was on one lap old softs, get outta here
He did it in Monaco
@@thegolfdude Still it looked a bit scary, he handled it well though
Not the first time he's done that on purpose, makes it spicy
He always does it on the last corner of the last lap if he's gonna win, he even did it with cramps in his legs, insane
Unforgettable finale. Everytime I watch it it feels like the 1st time. What an end!
Hi Hanna Brandon.
I recorded it and have already watched it again from start to finish…
This one never gets old. I keep coming back once in a while.
The absolute drama to end the season felt like a movie man, amazing stuff
The fact Albon was the first to go crazy on the radio was so heartwarming! Hope he gets a solid season in the Williams.
No one hate Hamilton more than Albono, not even Nando or Max or Masi
was it Albon screaming OH MY LORD?
@@trigger1631 That was indeed Albon
My initial thought was that Albon ruined the moment with all the yelling. Should have been Horner giving his well known "mega", "classy" comments first.
@@dv1k Masi hates Hamilton?

I've watched F1 for a long time, but never been a massive fan. This race, this last lap had me on my feet and my heart at 100bpm. This moment will be golden history for F1.

It's July of 2023 - This was probably one of the greatest final laps in all of F1 History. And the best part of it was hearing Albon - who wasn't in the race, scream loudest.
That was GP not albon.
@@CaptainEvillian As up to now it isn't really clear who that actually was. It doesn't sound like it was GeePee. The mystery persists.
@@lymanzerga4862 No, it's not a mystery. Albon said this: "I spoke to GP about it one day later," Albon continued." I said to him, 'Hey, by the way, do you know that everyone thinks it was me who came on the radio?" his response was, "Oh, really?" even people in the team thought it was me!""I was very happy, but it was not possible for me to have contact with Max over the radio. So it was GP who came on the radio and not me, unfortunately,"

2:37 Max showing Lewis his 'Shiny new tyres'
I still think Max deserved this championship after Great Britain and Hungary incidents
every time I watch the last round I have goosebumps all over my body .. I'm a fan of Lewis Hamilton
Poetic Justice for Lap1 Corner 6 Incident where Hamilton Cut the Corner and took advantage.
Verstappen won Despite the Stewards, not due to stewards.
I’m sorry The race would’ve never even restarted IF MASI let everyone By. You definitely started watching F1 In 2022 But the race would’ve never even restart
@@window469wow3 Who says that? According to FIA & F1 Regulations, Race Director has Overriding Powers in the matters related to "SAFETY CAR" (There is a Reason why it is called a Safety Car).
Also, It was decided in the Team Principal Meeting before the Start of the season that Races should end under a Green Flag which was a Unanimous decision.
Get your facts right. Mercedes Withdrew their case is Sports Court because they knew these Rules and would have faced an embarrassing defeat AGAIN.
Controversy aside how can you not give Max his due here. I know Lewis will whine about unsafe racing as soon as someone is within 30 seconds because he's used to a calm Sunday drive well ahead of the pack, in a rocketship, for years. Max bossed it this season.
he wines a too much during driving. It is racing, not following.
Controversy aside , could you stop just bashing Lewis for once ? I know you"re a Max fan for sure , the way you chose your word but it's getting annoying . And it's not because his radio was always on in Live footage that other drivers don't do that .
Talking about Rocketship , ReDbull haD the best car 2/3 of the season but i don't see you talking about " Rocketship" for half of the season . This prove you're not a FAN of F1 , you're a fan of Verstappen , and that way , like 95% of them , a Hater of Lewis even if HERE he should have won without FIA BIAS . SAD
@TheSwede9 Max is more than deserving of the Title, but not like this. This was a sad day in Motor Racing and as more information comes out, it is starting to turn very dark.
@@mago97615 then are you a fan of f1 or a fan of lewis? because he had a rocketship of a car for years now so I don't see what point you are trying to make here. it doesn't make sense?
@@mago97615 I don't know where you get that the RB was better for 2/3rds of the season. It's 50/50 at best, 60/40 for Merc at worst. Go over it track by track and you will see.
Bahrein: 50/50
Imola: Hard to say due to rain and Lewis binning it. 50/50 in my book,
Portugal: Mercedes
Spain: Mercedes
Moncao: RB
Baku: RB
France: 50/50. Strategy made the difference there.
Austria: RB
Austria: RB
Silverstone: 50/50
Hungary: Mercedes
Spa: Inconclusive
Zandvoort: RB
Monza: Mercedes
Sochi: Mercedes
Turkey: Mercedes
COTA: Mercedes (Biggest steal of the season imo)
Mexico: RB
Interlagos: I'm actually gonna go 50/50 here since Lewis had his rocketship engine and the straight seemed perfect for the dropping suspension of Mercedes.
Qatar: Mercedes
Saudi Arabia: Mercedes
Abu Dhabi: Mercedes.
In my book that is 7 RB tracks, 10 Mercedes tracks and 5 50/50 tracks. Now you could argue that in France the RB was quicker or that Monza was a bit more 50/50 this year, but like I said the most you're going to get is that the cars were roughly equal.
It will not get any better then this. Even Spielberg could not have written this entire season and how it ended better. What a present from the F1 to us fans, amazing!
What if this season was written by Disney?
@@serbanalexandriuc6170 Then LH would have won again. It's like Rey in the new Star Wars, everything is just given to her, and the amount of plot armor is ridiculous. That is the Disney way.

Yes this was Alex Albon. Hamilton criticises him a lot last year. This explains why he was so excited for Verstappen's win.
Still one of the most amazing F1 moments I’ve ever seen in my 16 years of watching F1. That ending was unbelievable
This clip inside max his car is by far the best view of the final lap.
But that last corner slide (intentional or not) was insane! 🙌
this radio rewind give me 100percent adrenaline even after 1 week
Best registration of the last lap ever. Love all the camera angles we didn't see before! Netflix will have a hard time improving on this, compliments!
And yet they did. I absolutely loved the last two episodes of D2S Season 4.
Still having goosebumps in 2023…
Can't believe official F1 channel has the brassneck to show this
Was kind of hoping to hear other drivers on the radio than just the title contenders.
I heard Alonso was laughing at FIA's decision to not let the backmarkers unlap themselves for example, i was curious whether other drivers had an opinion about it too.
Edit: well actually F1unfiltered did a nice compilation of all the team radio's under the SC
Ricciardo seid he was glad not to be part of that bullsh1t
there is a sound clip of alonso and all other drivers on youtube. Alonso was indeed laughing after the first call came in where they couldnt unlap. He said verstappen should be infront of him, not behind him.
Vettel said that too.
It was either they let everyone unlap themselves which meant there would probably be no laps left or just race with those laps left with the cars in between Max and Lewis, not half and half.
Max is a deserved champion but Lewis should have won the race.
Mercedes calculations were logically right not to pit but they weren't expecting human intervention to interpret rules and give the race win to Max.
That last lap wasn't racing, it was merely a show.
Things could have been handled better if they wanted a race for the last laps.
Glad Mercedes withdrew their appeal. They should rest, recover, and focus on next year.
@@prometheus8073 "Mercedes calculations were logically right not to pit" no they were not, Masi was supposed to let them unlap themselves a lap earlier than he did. Also merc decided at the beggining of SC. Lewis is the driver that won but redbull is the team that won this race.
I can’t believe I didn’t know this video existed until now. It’s exactly what I’ve been wanting : a breakdown of all the communications and plays in that fateful, championship defining moment.
Bro same, i can't understand how i didn't saw this till now, this video is perfect.
Same.This is the best Abu Dhabi video and I have seen a ton of them.
Powersliding at the last turn and finishing in style. What a driver, what a team.
"It´s called motor race" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The fear of loosing track position was a massive mistake by Mercedes. They will never acknowledge this I'm afraid.
Seems like everybody just forgets this... How many times during this season has Mercedes had the strategy/luck with safety cars. The last race they had 2 opportunities but they chose the track position on old tires.
A lose lose situation for Mercedes. Had they lost track position the race would have more than likely finished under the safety car. So either way the FIA would have had the race to go Max.
If you say this , you don't know much about F1 SADLY
the problem is that they don't see it as a mistake, but as a "Manipulated race" since nobody told them there would be a final racing lap...
How shameful of the German team.
@@Di_ROSSO If the Race Director had followed the rules and the more importantly fairly applied the rules to everyone, Lewis would have won under Safety Car. The rules don't allow the Race Director to use the car at his discretion... that is false. The Race Director can use the Safety Car within the rules, so that racing is fairly applied to everyone. BTW the rules that the Race Director ignored are there for the safety and fairness of everyone. Max is more than a worthy Champion, but Lewis had this race stolen by the Race Director. It will all come out in the Report, the rules are really clear in this area, there is no wiggle room. The Race Director cannot override the rules at his discretion.
5:30 Just Toto nonchalantly saying "ash-hole" to Masi.
didn't realize that 😂
Nice catch, man!!! 😂
He says Arschloch, meaning is the same of course 🤣
"Toto, we went car racing" 10/10
LH : this race is getting manipulated man.
If race is getting manipulated. What was the original script Lewis???
Is it your 8th world title????
the netflix version of this WILL. BE. EXTRA. SPICY.
1:16 the moment Lewis already understood he would lose
If Merc pitted he would be the one making the final overtake, probably.
@@aesir1ases64 We can only say that in hindsight because it was never clear until the last moment that the lapped cars between 1st and 2nd were going to be let through.
Given the gap Max was only 11 seconds, keeping track position was the right call to make. There was a high chance the race would not have restarted, and Merc would look silly if they pitted and the race stayed yellow to the end.
@@WildfireS1 Was it though? Season finale, championship decider and an agreement between teams to finish under green flag conditions whenever possible? I never expected the race to finish under the SC, especially as they had already gotten Latifi's car out of the way by lap 56.
@@lucanicolasstefan4788 If the rules were followed the guy is 2nd would have probably lost, whoever it was.
@@WildfireS1 no actually Lewis knew that before the debacle about lapped cars. As did I
No Mikey no mikey that was so no right. Priceless
The best race of the century
When Mercedes realized they F _ _ K UP . Priceless.
How?
Viewed it like a million times. Music and radio are perfect fit. "Of all the drama, of all the controversy, of all the magic moments in Formula 1 in 2021"...
"IT COMES DOWN TO THIS"
I think that the moment shown between Lewis Hamilton and his father was very touching. Lewis followed that moment by being gracious in defeat which was a testament to his character. I loved seeing Max win, but the sportsmanship shown by Lewis in that moment regardless of his team's protesting was truly incredible given the amount of emotion invested by himself and all those around him.
Well done Lewis.
Go Super Max!
Yea his dad is a real class act
This was surreal to watch live. I remember how I desperately wanted Max to win and texted my friend "yeah that's it he's lost" before Latifi crashed. lol
Still can’t believe in came down to this last lap of the all the 23 races… a season to never forget.
i feel for merc, but Toto saying "no mikey no no!" makes me laugh every time. sorry its just funny every time Toto get mad, breaking headphones, tables
Most epic moment in F1
I almost forgot to watch this today
I mean, regardless of all the controversies, it was just so perfect that this insane season ended the way it did. I've never been so enthralled by an F1-season, and my heart was literally pounding for that whole last lap. Best season ever.
Yes what happened happened and couldn't have happened any other way-Morpheus
the worst take I've ever seen
@@nippyseven keep crying
@@nippyseven for most, the joy of max winning is ovveriding any sense of the true distasteful way this season ended, over time they will realise
@@willdyer1720 It is as it is always. Nobody will ask how close you won or what happened and that you had luck with a lucky SC in the end. Kimi won his title by team order, nobody bothers today. Prost won it with a crash, Senna won it with a crash, Schumacher won it with a crash. Nobody bothers besides some cry out loud fans who still claim Michael cheated in 1994 or Prost crashed deliberately and had FIA on his side. And yes Prost was turning in too early, but it wasn't even the last race he had one more chance and only needed 3 points.
My blood pressure still goes up watching this! 😂
What a rollercoaster of emotion this race and season was!
Thank masi for the fix
Almost broke my laptop out of anger for the unfair irregular never done decision made by Puppet Masi. Still in my heart, It believes that Hamilton is the real champion. 11 seconds lead with 4-5 laps to go was 99.99999% Hamilton win and even Horner said it that they need a miracle/Puppet Masi to win the race. As Gary Lineker said " Imagine Man City and Liverpool going toe to toe for the title. On the las day of the season they meet and City are up 3 goals with just minutes to go. The referee decides it would be more exciting to have a penalty shootout. What's more is that the City players have to be barefooted. That's F1"
@@deezelkane masFIA?
Will never be surpassed. Time to recover.
@@merdanjumayev1230 _Merc didn't want to pit because then the battle would have been lost, they wanted 5 laps of honour for LH.... behind the sc ! MV is a deserved winner,weaker engine,less luck and he won or became second all gps he finished and that can't be said about LH who needed that engine lifespan trick and the lowering rear suspension to win.
I can watch this a million times and enjoy every single one ❤
Best season of F1 I have seen in my lifetime. Well done to both drivers it was a masterclass from both
