Everyone had pushed themselves to a point of performance and exhaustion that meant that it was always going to be controversial.
And the way that last lap restart unfolded will be debated forever.
You had seasoned professionals who'd been there for 30 years in disbelief.
at the whole season, the performance from both drivers, the performance from both teams.
I've covered a lot of sport.
I've attended a lot of sport.
It's the strangest atmosphere after the race that I can ever remember.
There was disbelief.
at what people had watched.
And we were on air for the post-show, standing live on TV, not knowing the stewards still had to rule on a couple of things.
The race result was still in the air.
And then, you know, the final clarification came through that Verstappen, who'd won with a pass on the last lap, would keep the title that the Mercedes protests had been thrown out.
And yeah, then it turned into traditional celebration.
But that hour after the race is unlike anything I've ever seen.
You're looking at around $3.5 billion to $4 billion for a team.
That's the average.
You've got Ferrari are worth the most.
They are the most famous name.
They are Formula One's most famous team.
That will never change.
