Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen
Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton have given all Formula One fans a season to remember, as the duo have fought against each other from the very first race in Bahrain. The pendulum kept on swinging in terms of the championship battle, but going into the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi, it is all square and back to where it all started.
Max Verstappen is known to be an aggressive driver, and he has done just that throughout this season. Initially, Lewis Hamilton yielded to Verstappen’s aggression, however, as the season kept progressing, the Briton has been getting into scheme of things.
Things between the two championship contenders got uglier when they collided on the opening lap of Silverstone GP back in July. Several questions were raised over Lewis’ un-sportsmanship like conduct, whereas, Verstappen was accused of being overly aggressive.

Their second crash took place at the Temple of Speed, Monza. Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton collided with one another as Verstappen tried to make a move on the Briton. The incident could be described as a clear racing incident.
Their last collision came at the Saudi Arabian GP, where Max Verstappen was handed a 10-second penalty for the same. Verstappen was asked by his team to give the track position back to Lewis Hamilton after an illegal move. Max slowed down on the straights, but brake-tested Hamilton on the very last minute, which meant that the Briton went into the back of the Red Bull.
The final race of the season will be held in Abu Dhabi this weekend, with both Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton being level on points at 369.5 each.
