However, when Verstappen was doing the same, Lewis Hamilton collided with him. As a result of which multiple penalties were imposed on the Dutchman, making sure the title fight is super close heading into the last race as Hamilton won the Saudi Arabia GP comfortably in the end.
Moreover, to make matters worse for Red Bull, Sergio Perez was too ruled out of the race during the latter restart and was one of the five drivers who could not complete the race. To add to the misery, Mercedes have taken a more than 20-point lead with only 1 race remaining, courtesy to Valtteri Bottas’ P3 finish.
