      Lewis Hamilton secures impressive finish despite nightmare Abu Dhabi GP as Max Verstappen breaks ANOTHER F1 record

      by

      MAX VERSTAPPEN was victorious for the 19th time this season while George Russell’s third place was enough to secure second-spot in the constructors’ championship for Mercedes – worth $10million.Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who was second in the race, tried a last-ditch attempt to stop Russell with some smart thinking.

      He allowed Red Bull’s Sergio Perez to overtake him on the final lap in the hope the Mexican could make up for his incoming five-second penalty for clashing with Lando Norris.
      However, Perez was unable to pull the necessary gap and resulted in him finishing fourth and Russell keeping third.
      Lewis Hamilton’s ninth place sealed the deal with Ferrari’s strategy backfiring as Carlos Sainz was forced to pit for tyres late on, dropping him out of the points as Mercedes beat the Italian team by three points.
      Russell said: “It means a huge amount.

      “There are so many people back at the factory, Brackley, Brixworth, who have worked so hard to achieve this. It has been a really challenging season.
      “I have let the side down a couple of  times this year so I am pleased to bring it across the line.
      “It was tight with Checo [Perez] at the end and I thought Charles was going to back me up, but respect to him for keeping it clean.
      “The tyres were dropping off but I was really pleased to have secured P2 for the team. I’m sure the team will have a few drinks tonight.”

      Leclerc added: “On one hand I’m really happy because on a weekend like this, there wasn’t one thing we could have done better as a team.
      “We did an incredible job doing everything right – strategy, qualifying. It’s just a shame we finished third in the constructors’.
      “That’s all that mattered to me at the end of the season and we didn’t achieve that.”
      Verstappen, who won the title in the Qatar sprint race, celebrated by pulling donuts on the grid as his team celebrated the most successful-ever season in F1.
      He said: “It was an incredible season, it was a bit emotional on the last lap. The last time sitting in the car which of course has given me a lot.
      “Of course, very proud to win the final race, I have to say thanks to everyone at Red Bull.
      “It’s been an incredible year. It will be hard to do something similar, but we definitely enjoyed this year.
      “It will be very hard to have another season like this, we know that, you always want to do better, but doing better is not always race wins and winning the championship.

      ”We are working hard for next year for a very competitive car
      “For sure all the other teams want to try and beat us next year, but we are ready for the battle and in the meantime we’re going to enjoy this year as well.”
      He made a good start but quickly came under pressure from Leclerc, who knew the opening laps would present his best opportunity to try and get past the champion.
      The Ferrari man pressed hard but was unable to find a way through, allowing Verstappen to start increasing his advantage over the rest of the field.
      Further back, Hamilton, who started 11th, had a battle with Perez for eighth place as the two went wheel to wheel.
      However, Sainz was unable to make any headway after starting in 16th place in his Ferrari.
      A slow stop for Norris in his McLaren promoted Russell a spot while Hamilton suffered a damaged front wing after diving into the back of Pierre Gasly.
      The seven-time world champion was issued with a toe-curling rallying call from boss Toto Wolff over the team’s radio.
      “Lewis, second quickest car last lap, you’re quick,” said the Austrian. Hamilton replied: “Thanks, Toto.”

      Hamilton was in the thick of the action scrapping for the crucial points in Merc’s battle with Ferrari.
      At one point he tangled with Fernando Alonso with Hamilton claiming he was “brake tested” by the Aston Martin driver.
      Hamilton moved into the points after passing Sainz on lap 48, it was a great sweeping overtake from the Brit that moved Mercedes into second place in the championship – with Hamilton finishing third in the individual standings.
      Up the road ahead, Norris and Perez banged wheels earning the Mexican a five second time penalty.
      Sainz then moved into 10th to swing the championship back in Ferrari’s favour, with Leclerc holding on to the second place.
      And the Italian team were given more breathing space when Perez passed Russell to move into third place and dropping the Brit to fourth.
      However, once Perez’s penalty was applied that meant Russell was prompted while Ferrari’s gamble to leave Sainz out until a safety car backfired.
      There was none and it meant Sainz had to come in on the final lap for new tyres as part of the rules to use at least two compounds.
      His DNF afforded Hamilton a late mistake where he was passed by Yuki Tsunoda for eighth with the Brit ending a miserable year in ninth place.

      The Dutchman had struggled during practice and had complained about the handling of his car.
      During Friday’s practice he was fortunate to escape without even a ticking off for passing Hamilton and Russell in the pitlane.
      However, he blasted his way to P1 ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and McLaren’s Oscar Piastri.
      After he crossed the line, Horner said: “Well done mate. You have just won me 500 euros out of Helmut, which is like getting blood out of a stone.”

      Verstappen replied: “Helmut lost a bet? What world are we living in?”
      He later added: “What a turn around because practice was not looking that good. I was struggling with the balance and made some changes and from lap one, I was a lot more connected and it felt a bit better.
      “It shows that details make the difference because I was not so happy until qualifying and then it turned in my favour.”
      It was Verstappen’s 32nd career pole and 12th of the season and means he is on course for his 19th win of the season in tomorrow’s race.

      Some sources also indicate that his annual salary is $250,000. 
      Despite his motor industry fame, Brewer is famously down-to-earth.
      Is Mike Brewer married?
      Brewer is married to Michelle Brewer, whom he married in 1992.
      Michelle was born on June 9, 1962. 
      The pair are thought to live in Warwickshire and have one daughter together. 
      In a 2023 interview, Brewer opened up about the impact his career has had on his marriage, saying: “I’ve literally dedicated my life – 26 years actually – dedicated to this craft.
      “And I feel like it’s given me an amazing life but it’s also come at the cost of my marriage.”
      “But there comes a time when I look and I think, maybe I should spend more time with my wife? She drives me mad but I love being with her,” he added.
      Brewer often posts photos of Michelle with his Twitter followers, with captions such as: 
      “Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife  .. life with Michelle is wonderful, I’m so lucky. I love you tons”.
      Michelle, meanwhile, posts on Twitter under the username @MrsMBrewer. 
      In her Twitter bio, she describes herself as “The driving force behind #WheelerDealer”, so it appears the pair work as a team, and Michelle has a lot of involvement in the car industry. 
      What other shows has Mike Brewer presented?
      Brewer started his television career in 1997, on Channel 4’s Deals on Wheels, and ITV’s Pulling Power. 
      In 1999, he presented Driven on Channel 4 for one year. 
      Then in 2003, Wheeler Dealers started, on the Discovery Channel, which Brewer has presented ever since. 
      In 2009, Brewer presented another show on the Discovery Channel — Auto Trader.
      Since 2020, Brewer has also hosted the Wheeler Dealers spin-off show on the Discovery Channel, Wheeler Dealers: Dream Car. 
      For the Discovery Channel, Brewer has also presented Deals on Wheels, Wrecks to Riches, and Frontline Battle Machines.
      In 2020, Brewer took a turn co-hosting a show called The World’s Greatest Cars, on Quest. 
      Alongside television presenting, Brewer launched the Wheeler Dealer Podcast in February 2023, which has so far run for two series. 
      What cars has Mike Brewer owned?
      It comes as no surprise that Brewer has a significant collection of classic cars. 
      Brewer’s first car was a beige Mini 850cc, but he has driven a wide range of cars in the interim period. 
      In 2021, Brewer announced that despite ridiculing electric cars, he’d taken the plunge and bought himself a Porsche Taycan. 
      That same year, Brewer decided to auction off a selection of his own cars, many of which he’s restored and maintained himself, at the Silverstone Auctions at NEC Classic Motor Show.
      In the lot were a 1972 Citroen SM 2.7 four-seat coupé, a 1967 Mini Cooper 1275 S, a 1961 Austin Seven Mini 1961, a 1966 Ford Cortina Lotus Mk1, and a 2002 Ferrari 360 Spider F1.
      Despite his love for his collection of cars, Brewer’s schedule didn’t allow him the time to drive and car for all of them. 
      Brewer has previously said he believes classic cars “are there to be driven. I know that first hand because I’ve got a collection.”
      He said: “Buy something you love, buy something you’re interested in because when you love the car you’re much more likely to be willing to spend time on it, to look after it, to drive it.”
      Brewer also revealed that his Ford Fiesta Mk1 was stolen in June 2023, a car that had been restored by Brewer and Priestly to mark the 20th anniversary of Wheeler Dealers.
      Despite offering a £5000 reward for the card, as of November 2023, it has not been recovered. More
