Red Bull's Max Verstappen has his first shot at winning the Formula One title in Sunday's inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix but Mercedes rival Lewis Hamilton is chasing a hat-trick of wins to take the battle down to the wire in Abu Dhabi

Seven-times world champion Hamilton, 36, has closed the gap on his 24-year-old rival to eight points in their clash of the generations after resounding back-to-back wins in Brazil and Qatar.

On paper the flat-out blasts along the Red Sea waterfront should favour Hamilton, whose Mercedes will once again have the “spicy” engine that powered the Briton from last on Saturday to first on Sunday in Brazil. “The car has been performing well recently and is probably in the best place it has been all season, with the drivers confident to push it to the limit.”
