Hamilton looks to extend F1 race as Verstappen eyes title

JEDDAH: Lewis Hamilton will bid to keep alive his hopes of a historic eighth Formula One world title at the inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix this weekend, powered by the new engine that aided his remarkable triumph in Brazil.

But Hamilton knows it is a perilous challenge and that he cannot afford to take any risks. Verstappen will take the title on Sunday if he wins and Hamilton finishes outside the top six. "In Brazil, I made sure to avoid the collision," added Hamilton, referring to his off-track excursion when forced wide by a lunging Verstappen.

"The track looks insane from what I've seen," he said."It is going to be a massive challenge and I'm sure there will be plenty of excitement and drama." Qualifying and making a good start will be critical factors as will the contenders' team-mates Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez.There has been criticism aimed at the decision to hold a race in Saudi Arabia, with even calls for singer Justin Bieber to cancel his headline act.
