Verstappen wins 2021 F1 world championship<\/h3>\n

Jeremy Clarkson gave a brutal assessment of Lewis Hamilton as he shared his predictions for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix two years ago. The Clarkson\u2019s Farm star weighed up Lewis, 38, and his rival Max Verstappen, 26, and did not hold back in sharing his opinion.<\/p>\n

Writing in a 2021 opinion piece, the 63-year-old quipped that Lewis \u201cis so hilariously on message, he\u2019s off it\u201d.<\/p>\n

He wrote for The Times: \u201cHe stands there with his serious taxdodging but knighted face telling everyone to cut their emissions, while circumnavigating the globe so that he can race a 1,000-horsepower car that was sponsored by the company that clad the tower at Grenfell.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lewis\u2019s rival did not escape Jeremy\u2019s acid tongue as the journalist continued: \u201cThen there’s Max Verstappen, who’s a yob. His dad, Jos, a Dutch racing driver from the 1990s, was convicted of threatening his wife and violating a restraining order.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Jeremy conceded that both men are \u201cepic drivers\u201d. He went on: \u201cI think Max is probably better as a helmsman. He just seems to be able to get more out of the car than it is capable of delivering.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut when it comes to wheel-to-wheel racing, Lewis probably has the edge. When the chips are down, he gets canny. He’s cleverer. More calculating.\u201d<\/p>\n

The December 12 race ended up being one of the most dramatic in Formula One history as Hamilton was pipped by Verstappen for the title in controversial circumstances.<\/p>\n

The FIA faced huge backlash after the late introduction of a safety car and a controversial call from race director Micheal Masi meant Verstappen was able to overtake Hamilton on the final lap.<\/p>\n

The result meant Verstappen clinched his first world title and Hamilton lost out on winning it for a record-breaking eighth time.<\/p>\n
