‘GOATSTAPPEN’: Sports world explodes as Verstappen snatches title from Hamilton

As if the final race of the Formula One season couldn’t get any more dramatic, the duel between bitter rivals Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton came down to a controversial final lap — with the Red Bull driver as the victor.

Both drivers entered the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix tied at 369 points to set up an epic winner-take-all finale.

Hamilton took the lead out of the gates, and looked as though he’d cruise to a record-breaking eighth world championship with under 10 laps to go, before Canadian and Williams driver Nicolas Latifi altered history.

Latifi crashed, bringing out a safety car and giving Verstappen one last chance to beat Hamilton after race director Michael Masi ruled the drivers could overtake the safety car on the final lap to duke it out.

The result: Verstappen earns his first instead of Hamilton winning an eighth.

Here are some of the best reactions from across the sports world:

For many, the real hero was Latifi.

The finish truly had no shortage of controversy, with Mercedes conducting multiple protests.

NHL exec Colin Campbell explains league’s schedule goals in Canada

NHL senior executive vice president Colin Campbell says the league would like to try to preserve as many full-capacity home games as possible for Canadian fans, but acknowledges other factors are at play in redoing the schedule during the current COVID-19 surge. “You’d like to give the fans the opportunity to go to as many games as they can. They’ve already been shortchanged in the last year and a half … shortchanged completely watching hockey here in Canada,” Campbell said in an interview on the Real Kyper and Bourne show on Sportsnet 590 The Fan on Friday. “It’s a rite of passage to watch the world juniors this time of year for all young kids.
