Controversy, collisions and cursing: The Verstappen, Hamilton flashpoints at the Saudi Arabian GP

The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix had just about everything. Controversy. Drama. A collision between F1's two title protagonists, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, with some controversial FIA decisions sprinkled in for good measure.

Remarkably, Verstappen and Hamilton are level on points heading to the final race of the season, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Verstappen leads on countback as he has more victories, which means he will win the title if they stay level on points.

With just one week until Abu Dhabi's race, the events of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix are likely to dominate the build-up to that winner-takes-all finale.
