There was just one radio message that really mattered at the 2021 Abu Dhabi season finale – and it belonged to Christian Horner, as he yelled down the airwaves to his driver: “Max Verstappen, you are the world champion.”
Verstappen claimed the first title for Red Bull since 2013 in a dramatic showdown at the Yas Marina Circuit. But the weekend provided us with plenty of other gems over team radio too.
Hit play in the video up top to hear why Sergio Perez was an animal, listen as Carlos ‘Smooth Operator’ Sainz returns to the podium, and relive the best team radio from title protagonists Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton after their epic battle ended with Verstappen being crowned champion.
