Max is an absolutely fantastic driver who has had an incredible season and I have nothing but huge respect for him, but what just happened is absolutely unacceptable. I cannot believe what we’ve just seen. — George Russell (@GeorgeRussell63) December 12, 2021

Let’s get one thing shiny sparkling crystal clear. BOTH drivers deserved the title this year. They were both astoundingly good. Anyone claiming tonight that Max didn’t deserve the title, because of how the race went down, is doing him a severe disservice. — Will Buxton (@wbuxtonofficial) December 12, 2021
