Clearly irked after the most dramatic race of the Formula 1 season went against him, Max Verstappen did not hide his emotions on the podium. The title challenger is copping a blasting 😬 9WWOS F1 SaudiArabianGP

Max Verstappen has been slammed for snubbing Lewis Hamilton on the podium in Saudi Arabia.

And although Verstappen was instructed to cede first position to Hamilton because of the move, the 24-year-old was accused of 'brake-testing' the Briton at turn 27 of the 37th lap. Verstappen hit the brakes as Hamilton loomed up behind him, causing the seven-time world champion to ram into the back of his Red Bull, which damaged his front wing.

Journalist Antonello Guerrera wrote on Twitter: "After all the dirty tricks on track, Verstappen even abandons the podium. Just pathetic." Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen are level on 369.5 points ahead of the final race of the world championship.
