Max Verstappen's victory in Abu Dhabi was not received with equal enthusiasm by everyone. Many fans present treated the Red Bull Racing driver to a whistling concert after his victory. It is certainly not the first time Verstappen has been booed during a Formula 1 weekend this season.

There are quite a few fans who do not thank Verstappen for refusing to help Perez in Brazil in his fight for second place in the world championship. The Dutchman did not want to relinquish his position a lap before the end of the race, so a week later they have still not forgotten.

Abu Dhabi is not really a country where Verstappen has many fans anyway. As in Brazil, more spectators favour Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton. Last season, Verstappen also won at the Yas Marina Circuit, taking the World Championship title then too. That too is still in the memory of Abu Dhabi fans.
