Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton’s title battle is considered the most dramatic in recent history.

The Brazilian Grand Prix was controversial as Verstappen forced Hamilton off the track, but received no penalty.

Hamilton eventually won the race, perhaps one of his greatest, from 20th place during the sprint weekend.

The battle continued at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, which featured a series of events between the title contenders.

Verstappen was ordered to hand Hamilton back the lead, twice, after illegally overtaking from the track.

Hamilton crashed into the back of Verstappen’s Red Bull, which had braked – Verstappen received a 10-second penalty for this.

The scores were even and the title race came down to a winner-takes-all final.

The intense final lap in Abu Dhabi would become one of the sport’s most controversial moments.

Race leader Michael Masi misapplied the rules during a late safety-car period as Hamilton appeared on course to win his eighth title.

Masi went against protocol regarding lapped cars before the last-lap restart, allowing Verstappen to pass Hamilton into turn five and take his first title.
