F1 champion Max Verstappen wins Abu Dhabi GP for 19th win of record-breaking season; Leclerc finishes second


Verstappen finished ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Mercedes driver George Russell, and also collected a bonus point for the fastest lap. His 54th career win moved him one ahead of former Red Bull great Sebastian Vettel, with only Michael Schumacher (91) and Lewis Hamilton (103) left ahead of him. “It was a bit emotional on the in-lap.”Red Bull won 21 of 22 races this season, with Sergio Perez claiming two wins. “You’ve smashed it out of the park this year,” Red Bull team principal Christian Horner told Verstappen on the radio. Perez was second overall this season to give Red Bull a 1-2, but the veteran Mexican driver finished a mammoth 290 points behind Verstappen.
