 Mercedes has decided not to appeal. Which should not be a surprise.

 Final Lap Feels | In The Garage For The Final Lap Of The Abu Dhabi GP 
 Dec 15, 2021
 
 Putting you in the Red Bull Racing Honda garage for the most extraordinary final lap to a Formula 1 Grand Prix you will ever see. Featuring the personnel on the pit wall, the mechanics and more! After 21 races of wheel-to-wheel action, the Drivers' Championship was decided on the very last one with Max Verstappen performing a daring last-gasp overtake to snatch the race victory and with it the Drviers' World Title.
 
 Red Bull Motorsports
 Incredible emotional scenes, still gives us chills watching this again!
 
 Jos van Zetten
 "Come on son, come one Maxie" Wonderfull to see and hear how everybody in the Redbull team is reacting. Great video of a historicle moment in the history of F1 Great teamwork!
 
 Dreist Studios
 It’s actually better just seeing their reaction without having the race video playing. I went through the same stages of excitement, joy then quickly fear and then relive and happiness.
 
 Sidney Diongzon
 I keep watching the final and get chills EVERY TIME!
 
 Aditya Harindar
 I teared up watching this. "Come on son, bring it home." - Chills!
 
 Niels Zumbrink
 The moment when Jos was so immensely close to Helmut is truly special. Helmut has always believed in what he called "the Verstappen clan" And seeing Jos kiss him is just pure emotion of a man who has devoted his soul to his son. So gorgeous to see.

 This ultimate joy can only happen in a team sport. It"s a team effort. A moment you work your entire career for. And one you will never forget!
 
 Jos van Zetten
 These guys and girls are hero's. Me, and most people here, are fans. After the race i drink a beer (or 2, 3 .....) and go to sleep. But these hero's are away from home for months traveling the world and giving 100% for the team, and they reached there goal. They must be honored. This video shows it all. Looking forward to 2022

 You know what's crazy is that I've rewatched the lap enough that can picture EXACTLY where max is on the track as I watch them watch it. What an insane moment to be a part of!
 
 Yi Zhou
 This makes me think how rewarding this moment feels, not just because of the win or the championship itself, but because of attaining a collective goal with your team

 Fan reaction as Verstappen passes Hamilton for the title at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

 Title says it all... I went nuts!! I will never forget this moment and it was incredible to witness history unfolding right in front of my eyes. Check out my vlog of my experience at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. (will be uploaded by tomorrow)

 The F1 2008 season final lap strikes back! Unbelieveble and breathtaking ending!
 
 Erik Schwartz
 Deserved this win. Would have been champion even before this race if the FIA wasn't best friends with Mercedes all season.
 
 William
 Great race, it was like Ali and Frazier, brutal and wonderful. Hamilton greatest of all time but from what i saw a great champion and classy congratulating Verstappen

 Goosebumps ❤️ Greetings from The Netherlands
 
 Stoic with fierce focus
 There is also a sub plot to this. Perez was to be discarded by Racing team after the final race in 2020.
 That was also in Abu Dhabi only. He started from the last position after engine issue but still won that race. Perez said after that race that "I want to be remembered that I gave my all for the team as a true team man".
 Horner recruited him in Red Bull in 2021 since he believed in him when no one else did.
 Fast forward 12 months and we are at the last race of 2021 at the same venue.
 Perez blocked Hamilton to reduce the gap with Verstappen from 10 seconds to 1 sec, otherwise in the final Lap Hamilton should have been 40 seconds ahead and could have done the pitstop to do the soft tyre change.
 Then Horner said at lap 52 that "We need a miracle to win."
 God gave him that miracle since he did that good karma to Perez exactly 1 year back.
 Universe works in mysterious ways.

 Must hurt when you are a 7 time world champion like Lewis and Max has double the supporters worldwide. People have had enough of Hamiltons nice guy act!
 
 Pretorius Sarel
 The Lion, MAX VERSTAPPEN is the deserved champ. Most wins, most pole positions, most better in qualify, most podiums, most laps led (by an enormous margin). Max beat Lewis fair and square, and he also beat the FIA, the British F1 establishment and the British media machine. Well done MAX...!!
 
 Live 4 Life
 Max won the race & the 2021 F1 title even though Mercedes & Hamilton cheated so many times this season. I applaude you Max & Red Bull, you EARNED IT fair & square, you DESERVE IT, so enjoy Your new CROWN

 The three-pointed cowards. Makes you wonder if they were in on it. After all, they had two chances to change his tyres and didn't. The car that crashed runs a Mercedes engine. 
 
 I think we have seen the last season of Lewis Hamilton in F1. And that is great shame. Shame on Mercedes!Last edited by Nitrodaze; 16th December 2021 at 15:18. Better a witty fool than a foolish wit.

	16th December 2021, 15:34 #214So Merc may have sabotaged their own race? You have lost the plot completely now. 
 
 It wasn't right but the horse has bolted now, whats done is done. Reversing the decision so long after the winner being declared would do even more damage than what has already been done. Merc pursuing this further would also likely have a detrimental effect against their image.
 
 Lewis understandably isn't happy but HE has accepted it, I only wish his fans were capable of showing the same grace.

 If Mercedes had change tires either of those times they would have ceded track position. They had no way of knowing Masi was going to have a brain fart. I don't get peoples POV when they say Mercedes should have pitted. In hindsight, their strategists absolutely made the right call given the information they had at the time. The only unknown variable for which they could not account was a clown in over his head. 
 
 I agree Mercedes should have taken it further, mainly because I doubt anything will change now. We'll see what comes of the probe.
 
 I feel sorry for Max in a way. He's a great driver and his title is tainted because he should not be champion right now. He deserves better than that, Hamilton deserves better than that and so do the fans.

 Fans in the Netherlands watch Max Verstappen race to victory in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
 Dec 12, 2021
 
 Fans in the city of Breda, Netherlands watch Max Verstappen race to victory in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Max Verstappen was eventually able to celebrate his maiden Formula One world championship after two appeals from Mercedes were rejected by race stewards following the Dutchman’s thrilling last-lap victory at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

 Poland cried from happiness too. Greetings Netherlands, Max deserved that a lot

 Totally delighted to see Max win. Watching from the US and almost didn’t want to watch the end to see Max deprived of a title after throwing everything he had. Was praying for a miracle and can’t believe a miracle happened !

 As a young Dutch woman who was watching with my bf I still can't believe it. I did talk about him needing a miracle to win at some point and that's exactly what he got, just amazing what an incredible race.

 I think they have acted in an unsavoury manner. They should have not made a fuss in the first place if they did not intend to follow through. They created a furore that cast a dark show over Verstappen's championship title for no reason. That l find very unreasonable. They should have only reserved the right to appeal only if they fully intended to appeal. Otherwise, their action is as bad as Masi's. Last edited by Nitrodaze; 16th December 2021 at 20:02.

 I had an Ex cheat on me many years ago, does that count? Yep, it was truly horrible... but there is quite a substantial key difference here, Lewis is just a racing driver.
 
 
 What kind of reaction do you expect when you come out with such crazy talk?
 Suggesting Merc were probably sabotaging their own race against Lewis and railing against Merc for it is not rational thinking dude.
