PARIS, Dec 6 — Formula One’s annus mirabilis has the ending it deserves with Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen on exactly the same number of points ahead of the weekend’s winner-takes-all showdown in Abu Dhabi.
Hamilton produced what three-time former world champion Jackie Stewart suggested “might be the best race he’s ever driven” to emerge triumphant from the chaos of a hot and sticky night in Jeddah. “That guy is crazy man...It was just dangerous driving, dude,” he snapped over the team radio, adding later: “He’s over the limit for sure”.
He noted: “I’ve avoided collision on so many occasions with the guy and I don’t always mind being the one that does that because you live to fight another day, which I obviously did.” “The quicker car with the quicker driver should win the championship, and not by taking each other off.” Felipe Massa, trailing Hamilton by seven points, needed to win his home race and Hamilton to finish no higher than sixth.For a few seconds the crown was his, only for Hamilton to overtake Timo Glock on the final bend to cross the line in fifth and take the championship by a whisker.
