Lewis Hamilton may never get over the pain of being ‘robbed’ of a record eighth Formula One title, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff said.
Hamilton lost out to Verstappen after the Dutch driver overtook him on the last lap at Yas Marina, benefiting from a change to the safety car procedure that allowed racing to resume with Verstappen right behind his title rival.
The Austrian, speaking to reporters for the first time since Sunday’s race in Abu Dhabi and after Mercedes dropped plans to appeal the result, said he did not think he or Hamilton might would ever get over the decision.
