Description
Welcome to the latest episode of Track Limits Podcast, where Henny and Swish share their thoughts on the recently concluded Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The season's final race weekend has concluded, witnessing a thrilling showdown among teams and drivers striving to solidify their positions in both the constructors' and drivers' standings. For Red Bull, the aim was to capitalize on their exceptional success this year, shattering nearly every record in F1 history. Max Verstappen's unassailable victory in Abu Dhabi, marking his third consecutive win on this circuit, solidified his dominance. Despite Checo's remarkable ascent from P9 to P4 with an impressive pace, a five-second penalty denied him a podium finish. Red Bull's season tally of 21 wins out of 22 races showcased an unforeseen and unprecedented level of dominance. The spotlight also shone on the constructors' battle between Ferrari and Mercedes, separated by a mere 4 points. Both teams showcased a split performance in qualifying, setting the stage for an engaging battle that unfolded throughout the race. Ultimately, Mercedes accumulated enough points to secure P2 in the constructors' championship. In a poignant moment, Yuki Tsunoda aimed to bid farewell to Franz Tost with AlphaTauri's maximum achievable points. Earning the Driver of The Day accolade and delivering a stellar performance, Yuki demonstrated his ability to contend among the elite, finishing ahead of Lewis Hamilton and his teammate Ricciardo. A special appreciation goes out to DP World and McLaren for their hospitality during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. We look forward to our future collaborations.
