What happened at the last race at the COTA circuit?
The 2021 season is usually regarded as one of the most intense battles in F1 history. Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen were involved in a season-long fierce rivalry which went on till the final race of the season.
One of the highlights of the previous season came at the 2021 US GP. Verstappen held off the 7-time world champion to claim a thrilling victory in Austria.
Hamilton started the race from P2 but he overtook the Dutchman in the opening stages of the race. But was soon overtaken by Verstappen during the pitstops. On fresher tyres, the Briton tried to chase down the Red Bull but failed to get close enough to attack.
Ultimately, Verstappen won the race with 1.3 seconds over his rival.
