00:01Formula 1 2025, Abu Dhabi was almost the least exciting race of the whole season, but the

00:07build-up to Abu Dhabi was amazing. Max Verstappen, I've got to say for me, this year is the outstanding

00:13driver of all of them. He didn't have a good car, lost a lot of points and then came back

00:20like it was a miracle that he was in the fight in Abu Dhabi. There was no world where he

00:25should have been in there and finishing two points only behind Landon Norris, been outstanding.

00:31He's definitely one of his best seasons. I think last year was strong as well. The year

00:36before the car was so dominant that it kind of was easy. Well, it's never easy, but easier.

00:43His first world championship was tough in a battle with Lewis, so that was also a good

00:49one. But I would say that this year, just coming back so far behind and being so impressive

00:58and so consistent and strong, that has been very inspiring for a lot of drivers.
