Lewis Hamilton praised by former Red Bull driver for his maturity
Former Red Bull driver David Coulthard recently praised Lewis Hamilton for his mature behavior after the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP. The Briton was denied a record-breaking eighth title win by Max Verstappen on the final lap of the race at Yas Marina.
Hamilton was en route to breaking Michael Schumacher’s title record in 2021 when a controversial late safety car allowed Verstappen to overtake him as he won his first title in the sport.
