F1 news LIVE: Abu Dhabi GP build-up, Verstappen and Hamilton LEVEL ahead of deciding race – latest updates

0 8

LEWIS HAMILTON and Max Verstappen’s EPIC F1 title race is going right to the wire, as the defending champ branded his rival “f****** crazy.”

The pair finished first and second in Saudi Arabia and are now level on points going into a nail-biting final weekend of fast track action.

There was debris strewn across the track after a heart-stopping moment where Verstappen was forced to let the Brit overtake him and they COLLIDED.

The stench of ill feeling between the Mercedes champ and Red Bull pretender has simmered all season and has boiled over a few times already.

Now, after storming off the podium in a huff, hot-headed Verstappen will have to summon all his might to try and prise the F1 championship off Hamilton, who could become the greatest driver of all time in Abu Dhabi this coming weekend.

Hamilton said of the collision: “This guy is f****** crazy. It was just dangerous driving dude.

“This isn’t the first time I’ve had to avoid collisions.

“It was clear that others around us were willing to take it to all sorts of levels to overtake so I just tried to keep it on the track and stay out of trouble.

“We are supposed to do our racing on track between the white lines.

“The rules haven’t been clear from the stewards and those things have been allowed, so it has continued.”

Hamilton and Verstappen are now both on 369.5 championship points, but only one driver can take the spoils in the last weekend of action.
