F1: Eight memorable title battles as Max Verstappen and Lando Norris fight for the championship

The title fight between Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton is considered the most dramatic in recent history.

The Brazilian Grand Prix was controversial as Verstappen forced Hamilton off the track but did not receive a penalty.

Hamilton eventually won the race, perhaps one of his biggest, from 20th in the sprint weekend.

The battle continued at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, which featured a number of events between the title contenders.

Verstappen was ordered to hand the lead back to Hamilton twice after illegal off-track overtaking.

Hamilton crashed into the back of Verstappen’s Red Bull, who slowed – Verstappen received a 10-second penalty for this.

The points were tied and the title race came down to a winner-takes-all final.

The final intense Tour of Abu Dhabi would become one of the sport’s most controversial moments.

Race director Michael Masi misapplied the rules during a late safety car period as Hamilton looked set to win an eighth title.

Masi went against lap car protocol before the last-lap restart, allowing Verstappen to pass Hamilton at turn five and claim his first title.
