The race in Jeddah gave the track yet another no-holds-barred duel between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. The Englishman eventually emerged triumphant from an extreme battle and the two rivals will start the last race of the season, scheduled for Sunday in Abu Dhabi, on points. A full-blown playoff that promises to keep millions of viewers across the world glued to the screen. The rotations between the contenders for this infinite world championship on the Saudi track have obviously generated a shower of controversy and discussions, but also some funny curtain.
For example, the angry reaction of the entire Mercedes garage – and above all of the team principal, became viral Toto Wolff – in the moment of the sensational rear-end Verstappen Hamilton. The Austrian manager, who had already become famous in the past for his particularly impetuous and explicit gestures in particularly tense and sudden situations, in fact let himself go in those moments to a real show, screaming angrily and above all throwing away the headphones he had in head, through which he is in connection with the rest of the team. A rather accentuated gesture, which was taken up in an ironic key by the same official account of the Brackley team.

The social media manager of the world champion team has in fact published a slow motion video of the ‘throwing headphones’ then tagging the business partner who supplies Mercedes with these headphones, Bose. The icing on the cake is the text of the post, with the “apologies” for the angry reaction. A good way to play down this season finale. But the risk that the replay of such a gesture can already be seen in Abu Dhabi is quite high.
