An Exciting Final Race
The final race was super exciting because the drivers were battling hard for the championship. There were explosive starts, lightning-fast speeds, and daring turns! The race was so intense that yellow flags (which tell drivers to slow down for safety) came out several times.
After the first lap, there was a collision with a buoy, and later, one of the boats even flipped over! 😲 But don’t worry, the drivers were okay.
This season was filled with excitement, and we can’t wait to see what happens next year. The China Tianrong F1H2O Team showed amazing progress, and they might just take the top spot in the future!
