“I never thought he would be so great,” said Verstappen.
“Before, I only knew him as a driver. But now that I’ve spent a little more time with him, I’ve noticed that he’s really a top guy. “
Verstappen’s championship win was controversial after looking dead and buried before Williams’s Nicholas Latifi late crashed into a wall.
The safety car was deployed, with Verstappen getting a tire change in the pits while Hamilton was forced to stay outside to make sure he didn’t lose his position on the track.
The drivers were then told by Race Director Michael Masi that they would not be able to overtake and unlap themselves – but Masi changed his mind and left the five cars out of the way between Hamilton and Verstappen.
