Race fans are still catching their breath after the action packed and highly tensed Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. With Max Verstappen winning his maiden world championship, both he along with Lewis Hamilton set the 2021 Formula 1 season on fire and former Formula 1 driver Damon Hill has been urged to state that both these mentioned drivers deserved to get their hands on the silverware. 

Safe to say, both Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen showcased that they have the ability to manhandle the entire grid with their dominance but with Damon Hill been asked upon the same, he surely had some interesting answers.

In the official F1 podcast obviously comes up whether Verstappen is the rightful champion in the end? “They were both the right person (for the world title),” said Damon Hill. “It could have gone either way. All it seemed to need was that one twist of a molecule and it changed. It jumped the other way, to Max on his soft tyres.” 
 
The participants in the podcast noticed how honourably Hamilton accepted his loss. “That can be a way of winning,” said Hill. “You have to accept that sport is not an exact science. Sometimes it’s against you. Everyone did their best and he recognised the greatness of Max. And Max sees that in Lewis. ”

“They have found a worthy opponent in each other,” observes former world champion Hill. “I always had the feeling that Michael (Schumacher) never saw me as a worthy opponent. Until I beat him in the rain once and I think he was a bit impressed. It’s great when something like that happens. And next year we’ll do it again.”
