00:00The safety car is coming in at the end of this lap.

00:03So those back markers allowed to overtake the safety car,

00:08and that has now left Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.

00:11It has left Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen side by side.

00:15Hamilton will be ahead.

00:16Verstappen is absolutely desperate to get on with this on that soft compound tyre.

00:22We're going to have one lap of racing to decide the championship in 2021.

00:28Hamilton has the advantage, Verstappen has the faster, fresher tyres,

00:33and we have got 3.2 miles of racing action all the way to the chequered flag,

00:40as the crowd roar the drivers on to the final lap of this race,

00:44and Verstappen sets after Hamilton.

00:47Is it going to be a first world championship for Verstappen?

00:50Is it going to be an eighth world championship for Lewis Hamilton?

00:54Where can Verstappen try and get past Hamilton?

00:56First overtaking zone is normally down into turn five.

01:00Is Verstappen far enough back?

01:02He's going to make the lunge down the inside.

01:03Hamilton sees him coming.

01:05It's a late lunge by Verstappen, who takes the lead of the race.

01:09Verstappen now snatches the championship trophy from Lewis Hamilton,

01:13who's trying to fight back.

01:15No DRS for two laps, so Lewis Hamilton will not get the rear wing open.

01:19Now he's going to go down the outside.

01:22If Verstappen keeps it tight and knee, but he hasn't, he's gone a little bit wide.

01:27This race that started with controversy is ending with controversy.

01:30No, no, no, Mike, that was so not right.

01:33Here comes Lewis Hamilton though, down the back straight.

01:36He's got a slipstream.

01:37He almost touches Verstappen.

01:38They almost make contact into turn nine.

01:41Verstappen stays ahead of Lewis Hamilton.

01:44Of all the drama, of all the controversy, of all the magic moments in Formula One in 2021,

01:51it comes down to this.

01:52And at this moment, it looks like it's going to go the way of Max Verstappen.

01:57Mercedes not happy.

01:59Red Bull will be delighted.

02:01They have shared a brilliant championship battle.

02:05But the championship can only be won by one.

02:08And it's going Dutch in 2021.

02:11Max Verstappen, for the first time ever, is champion of the world.

02:17Lewis Hamilton finishes in second place after leading for so, so long.

02:23But these last moments are going to be talked about.

02:26And this might not be the end of the matter, because Mercedes are furious.

02:32Oh my lord, Max!

02:33Oh my lord, it's going to work!

02:35Yes!

02:37Oh my god!

02:38Yes!

02:40Yes!

02:42Woo!

02:43Yes!

02:45Oh my god!

02:48You couldn't make it up, could you?

02:50There's going to be so much acrimony going forward now about that procedure at the end.

02:57Red Bull played every car they could, because they hadn't got enough speed,

03:01they hadn't got track position.

03:02They played it really smart.

03:04Mercedes played it cautious out front.

03:07But to release the lap cars and end the safety car and give us one racing lap.

03:13Wow!

03:13How quickly did that turn around?

03:15What was Christian Horner saying to us?

03:16The racing gods need to shine down on us.

03:20They certainly did.

03:21I need, we need a miracle, said Christian Horner.

03:26The miracle arrived.

03:28Nicholas Latifi crashed.

03:30The safety car came out.

03:32The lapped cars were allowed to get out of the way.

03:35Verstappen pitted for fresher tyres and in the course of one racing lap, took the lead and kept it.

03:45Max Verstappen, you are the world champion!

03:48The world champion!

03:52Mate, you absolutely deserve it!

03:55You absolutely deserve it!

03:57You've had no luck!

03:58Not the wrap of the green!

03:59Max, we are so proud of you!

04:03Oh my god, guys!

04:06I love you so much!

04:08You have driven like a champion all year.

04:11You deserve that.

04:12We needed a bit of luck.

04:14You got it.

04:14You made it happen.

04:16And we love you.

04:18We absolutely f***ing love you.

04:24I think a bit of luck, lifetime supply of luck, might just have come Red Bull and Max Verstappen's way.

04:30Ted Kravitz down in the pit lane.

04:32Well, emotion after emotion after emotion.

04:35It's pandemonium.

04:36Christian Horner is crying his eyes out.

04:38Jos Verstappen is already wearing a Max Verstappen world champion t-shirt

04:43and at the Mercedes garage, they are shell-shocked.

04:46Toto Wolff has just dropped his head.

04:48He can't believe it.

04:49He's talking to Susie Wolff, his wife.

04:52They're all asking each other what is going on.

04:54They're shaking their heads.

04:57It is unbelievable, guys.

04:59Can we do this for another 10, 50 years together?

05:04Wait, honestly.

05:07They're in disbelief that Mercedes Horner has gone up to the Mercedes pit wall

05:11to shake hands with anyone he can find.

05:13He's getting a handshake, but it's not very warm.

05:16Mercedes absolutely have no idea what has just gone on.

05:21They are befuddled.

05:23The most befuddlement you can ever see.

05:25Whereas it is all going off.

05:26That is a release of emotion, a release of pressure.

05:29They can't believe.

05:30Is it luck?

05:31Is it judgment?

05:32Is it getting the rub of the green?

05:34But they are absolutely shell-shocked at Mercedes.

05:37And they are in pieces and tears of joy at Red Bull Racing.

05:42I might need to sit down for quite a while here, Martin Brundle,

05:45to just try and compute what has happened in the last five minutes.

05:48And he might need to sit down for the whole winter

05:50because I'm not sure it's going to sink in for a while.

06:04No one wants to chat or go answer.

06:05I'll wait to sit down for a while.

06:05Let me learn how to explain what is the hand cold in the last five minutes.

06:07My dad Thanks a lot.
