THE BALL – Verstappen wins the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (videos) (Formula 1)



[ad_1]

Max Verstappen, at Red Bull-Honda, won the 12th edition of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, 17th and last race of the 2020 Formula 1 World Championship. The Dutchman started from the top position on the starting grid and commanded 55 laps in Yas Marina, always controlling the advantage for the Mercedes of Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton, both conditioned by the low performance of the power units, which could never work at the power limit.

Verstappen achieved his tenth victory in Formula 1 – first in Abu Dhabi and second in 2020 – but this result did not guarantee the Dutchman the second position in the drivers’ championship, which was in the hands of Bottas for the second consecutive season. Hamilton, the world champion, was only 3rd in the return to competition after the absence in Sakhir imposed by the COVID-19 infection, but took the 14th podium in a championship that ended with 11 victories.

Among the constructors, behind the seven-time champions Mercedes-AMG and Red Bull-Honda, McLaren-Renault qualified, who won the match against Racing Point-Mercedes and Renault for the 3rd position in the championship, a result worth a monetary prize . higher (another six million dollars).
