Max Verstappen secured his third consecutive Formula 1 world title on October 7th. Yet it was not until December 8th that the Red Bull Racing driver was allowed to receive the accompanying trophy. At the annual FIA Prize Giving ceremony, this time in Baku in Azerbaijan, the Dutchman was finally presented with the top prize this Friday.

Meanwhile, Verstappen has the big trophy in his hands:


It was a party for Red Bull Racing anyway. Team boss Christian Horner received the trophy as the winning constructor, while Sergio Perez was honoured as Formula One World Championship number two. Lewis Hamilton also made an appearance in Azerbaijan. The Mercedes driver finished third in the title race. In 2021, Hamilton was the number two behind Max Verstappen, but then the Brit skipped the award ceremony. At the time, the Mercedes driver was too disappointed with the way he had missed out on the world title in Abu Dhabi.

Not only Max Verstappen was honoured in Baku. All FIA world champions (and a few smaller championships) received their trophies there. For instance, Jake Dennis ( Formula E champion) and Théo Pourchaire (Formula 2) received their top prizes.

He got 3rd place remember, best of the rest behind the Bulls.... Hypocrite? You guys really need to look in the mirror now and again!......Perhaps they should have an award for the fans like yourselves like Sycophant of the year or Pathetic comment of the year.... Not sure who would win though there is half a dozen of you guys up for it.

Definition of a hypocrite according to the Cambridge Dictionary: "someone who says they have particular moral beliefs but behaves in way that shows these are not sincere" And also: "He's a hypocrite - he's always lecturing other people on the environment but he drives around in a huge car" We can not deny that the example the Cambridge Dictionary states somehow seem to fit him perfectly. There's even more examples for this a part from "a huge car". But I think you know him well enough to figure out by yourself what the other examples are. ?

Never said he wasn't a hypocrite but thanks for the Education on the meaning.... I was merely responding to the comments above, I believe those who commented at the top are hypocrites with a lot of their posts...But yet again it's a Max article and the first comments are about Lewis?... Try looking up obsessed or infatuated for the guys above.

"He got 3rd place remember, best of the rest behind the Bulls.... Hypocrite?" The above sounded like you denied that HAM sometimes makes hypotonic statements. At least you seem, correct me if I'm wrong, to recognize that he is a hypocrite at times. ?

Oh, if the FIA actually had such an award, Hamilton will definitely be winning it year in and year out, without a doubt!! He is always trying to appear to be the goody too shoes, with his statements of 'inclusion' or 'sustainability' or 'minority group' or "diversity"! None of which actually sounds genuine from the heart. It's just to earn himself brownie points with whichever groups that actually cares a dam about those things. For the rest of us, it is just very off putting and people wonder why there are so many people who can't stand his guts.
