Verstappen vs. Hamilton: F1's title showdown as it happens
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton are battling for the F1 title this weekend.
They're level on points so the stakes are clear. The driver who finishes ahead of the other will win, unless Hamilton is 9th and Verstappen finishes 10th with the fastest lap bonus point.
Verstappen would win any head-to-head tiebreaker due to having more victories this year than Hamilton.
