The title fight between Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton is considered the most dramatic in recent history.

The Brazilian Grand Prix was controversial as Verstappen forced Hamilton off the track, but was not penalized.

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

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

Verstappen was ordered to restore the lead to Hamilton, twice, after illegal overtaking off the track.

Hamilton collided into the rear of Verstappen’s Red Bull, which had slowed – Verstappen received a 10-second penalty for this.

The points were tied 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 director 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 overtaking cars before the final lap restart, allowing Verstappen to overtake Hamilton in turn five and take his first title.
