Lewis Hamilton has been warned his time at the top of F1 could soon be up despite his strong finish to the 2021 season.
Hamilton, 37, appeared out of the title race when he trailed Max Verstappen by 19 points with four races to go, but then was at his mercurial best to notch wins in Brazil, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.
It meant the Mercedes man went into the final race in Abu Dhabi level on points with his title rival, and he seemed certain to take the chequered flag at the Yas Marina as well before the controversial late safety car procedure that ultimately gifted Verstappen victory.
