Pundit and former driver Karun Chandhok had his say on a controversial end to the season.
My thoughts on yesterday’s finish…
Neither driver deserved to lose that title yesterday.
Both have been outstanding this year but ultimately we must all congratulate @Max33Verstappen on his first World Championship 👏🏽👏🏽 pic.twitter.com/5mWHHy493M

George Russell prepared for his move to Mercedes.
It's hard to sum up just how much the last three years have meant to me. Working with these incredible people has given me a whole new appreciation for what dedication really means. No matter how tough things get, they never give up. I will carry that mentality with me always. pic.twitter.com/p3ZF8jA1B5

To every member of the @WilliamsRacing family, thank you for making me one of your own and for helping me grow as a driver, a teammate and a man. There is so much more greatness still to come for this team, and it will come soon, I know it. 💙
