Fans are eager to watch the 2021 season unfold on Netflix. However, there is one aspect that the film crew missed out on during the final race of the season. It was an interaction between the 7-time world champion and the Red Bull prodigy at the press conference.
F1 Nation Podcast host, Tom Clarkson said, as quoted by SoyMotor, “There was a fun time over the weekend. Before we got Max and Lewis together on Thursday, there was a big discussion about whether we were going for the ‘cheesy’ handshake.”
“Max came in early, sat down and we were talking. About three minutes later, Lewis came in, walked over, fist bumps and said, ‘How are you, man?”

But soon Clarkson faced a major disappointment. He added, “Then at the end, I said to the Netflix guy, ‘You must have enjoyed the fist bump,’ but he said, ‘oh, I missed it, I was focused on Lewis and I missed it.’
“So I turned to the FOM camera and said, ‘Did you get it?’ And he said, ‘No, buddy, we weren’t ready yet.Then I went to the photographer, ‘have you got it?’ But he said, ‘No, buddy, I’m sorry, I didn’t catch it, I had the wrong target.”
