Alarm before the decisive race in F1
“The Haas F1 Team wishes Nikita to recover and we are looking forward to his re-activity in early 2022 during winter testing,” reads part of the team’s official statement.

The race in Abu Dhabi will decide the F1 world championship this season. Before the last competition, the situation in the drivers’ classification is incredibly even. A Dutchman will fight for the title Max Verstappen with Red Bull Racing and the British Lewis Hamilton with Mercedes.
Before the last race of the season, both drivers accumulated 369.5 points. However, Verstappen is in the lead in the overall standings, having won more races this season. The Dutch triumphed nine times, the British one less.
