00:00Formula One 2025,

00:02Abu Dhabi was almost the least exciting race

00:04of the whole season,

00:06but the build-up to Abu Dhabi was amazing.

00:09Max Verstappen, I've got to say for me,

00:11this year is the outstanding driver of all of them.

00:15He didn't have a good car,

00:18lost a lot of points,

00:19and then came back like,

00:21it was a miracle that he was in the fight in Abu Dhabi.

00:23There was no world where he should have been in there,

00:26and finishing two points only behind Landon Norris

00:28has been outstanding.

00:31He's definitely one of his best seasons.

00:33I think, last year was strong as well.

00:36The year before, the car was so dominant

00:37that it kind of was easy.

00:40Well, it was never easy, but easier.

00:43His first world championship was tough in a battle with Lewis.

00:48So that was also a good one.

00:50But I would say that this year,

00:54just coming back so far behind

00:56and being so impressive

00:57and so consistent and strong.

01:01And that has been very, very inspiring for a lot of drivers.

01:05and that happened in New York,

01:10so that there was a lot of people here that were

01:11not in the area that's been in the area,

01:13but not in the area,

01:14and so nothing gets to know.

01:14And I think,

01:16the right one in this area

01:16can be in the area that may be the only one.

01:17This is a strong thing.

01:18And it's pretty unfortunate.

01:19So that is what I wanted realtor to do.
