Lewis Hamilton won a crazy, twice-halted Saudi Arabian Grand Prix for Mercedes on Sunday to go level on points with Red Bull rival Max Verstappen and set up a winner-takes-all title showdown.

On a chaotic night in Jeddah, the first race in the Gulf kingdom took almost as many twists and turns as an already astonishing and enthralling rollercoaster season -- and also left a bitter aftertaste.

Verstappen, who finished second with Valtteri Bottas third for Mercedes, leads 9-8 on wins, however -- meaning that the Dutch 24-year-old will be champion if neither he nor Hamilton scores another point. "He just brake-tested me. I’ve just hit him, man, my wing’s broken," exclaimed the Briton. "That was dangerous driving dude."

That played into the hands of Verstappen, who stayed out while Hamilton pitted from the lead for fresh tyres to take advantage of the safety car deployment.Hamilton made the better getaway but Verstappen went off track to keep the lead, with Alpine's Esteban Ocon -- who finished fourth after being pipped by Bottas at the end -- forcing his way into second place.

Masi offered Red Bull the "opportunity" to line up on the grid for the third standing start behind Hamilton, with Ocon in the lead."We accept that," came the reply from Red Bull's team manager Jonathan Wheatley.
