Max Verstappen picked up his second F1 world drivers’ championship trophy on Friday night as the FIA honoured its champions at its annual prize giving in Bologna ⬇️
“I know thankfully he saw Max win the championship in Japan, even though there was a bit of confusion over the points there,” said Horner.
The confusion Horner referred to came at Suzuka, where an unintended consequence of rewriting the rules surrounding shortened races after last year’s Spa debacle meant full points were awarded despite only just over half of the full distance being achieved. “And one thing you said about Japan, Japan you said was controversial [sic] - no. The FIA was blamed for the points, but it was not the FIA which made the rules, it was the teams who made the rules, and we were implementing them.”Photo by: FIA
“[Horner] is right, they deserve the win, everyone who wins deserves it. These are the rules. So well done, I say it honestly, and for more wins also.”
