Guenther Steiner explains his true feelings about the controversial end to the 2021 Formula 1 title race in a new book which hits the shelves later this week.
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix infamously resulted in Max Verstappen becoming world champion for the first time. He did so by overtaking rival Lewis Hamilton the very last lap of the race, following race director Michael Masi's decision to end a late safety car period early.
