GALLERY: Verstappen receives F1 trophy as Hamilton skips awards

No images of Mercedes' James Allison collecting constructors' trophy

GPFans Staff

Max Verstappen was on hand to collect his trophy for winning this season's F1 title at the annual FIA Gala prize-giving ceremony staged in Paris.

But there was no Lewis Hamilton after the seven-time champion opted to snub the event he is mandated to attend as per the sporting regulations after finishing runner-up.

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff, who also chose not to attend, claimed both he and Hamilton had been left disillusioned by the events in Sunday's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Chief technical officer James Allison, instead, collected the constructors' trophy for Mercedes, the eighth consecutive occasion the team has won the award.

However, in a gallery provided to the media by the FIA, there is no image of Allison receiving the piece of silverware.

Below is a selection of images from the prestigious event.
