14th November 2010: The Night That Crowned a New King

On this day in Formula 1 history, the lights of Yas Marina illuminated a changing of the guard. The 2010 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix delivered a tense and tactical title decider — one that crowned Sebastian Vettel as the youngest World Champion in history, after Ferrari’s fateful strategy call left Fernando Alonso trapped behind Vitaly Petrov.We also celebrate the birthday of Brett Lunger — Vietnam veteran, racing driver, and one of the men who pulled Niki Lauda from the flames of the Nürburgring — a reminder that motorsport’s greatest heroics don’t always happen at full speed.And in Brazil, we revisit Lewis Hamilton’s astonishing 2021 São Paulo comeback, where penalties, adversity, and pure determination set the stage for one of the defining victories of his career — and a tribute to his hero, Ayrton Senna, that earned him the love of a nation.Join us as we relive the night that crowned a new king, the courage that saved a champion, and the comeback that inspired a country — all on this day, 14 November, in racing’s rich and chequered past.Cover Image: By Jitesh Jagadish - Vettel_abu_dabi_2010, CC BY 2.0, LinkSend us Fan MailMusic by #Mubert Music Rendering
