The 2021 F1 season has been one of the most dramatic ones in recent history with the title rivals- Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen pushing each other to the very limit. After 21 rounds, both Hamilton and Verstappen will land in Abu Dhabi level on points.

Hamilton won a chaotic Saudi Arabian grand prix last weekend with Verstappen finishing second ahead of Valtteri Bottas and Esteban Ocon. The race saw Verstappen taking the lead from Hamilton after the first red flag while the Brit passed Verstappen later in the race on track.

Meanwhile, British tennis sensation and US Open champion Emma Raducanu is also a huge F1 fan. She has time and again mentioned that she doesn’t miss any race and roots for countryman Lewis Hamilton. After the Saudi Arabian grand prix, Emma took to Instagram to share her excitement.
