In a crazy Formula 1 Grand Prix for twists and turns, Lewis Hamilton wins the race and is tied on point with Max Verstappen.
The duel between Max Verstappen to Lewis Hamilton peaked in intensity, a week before the grand final in Abu Dhabi. Starting from pole position, the seven-time champion did not experience a quiet race from start to finish. The Red Bull driver tried everything today to prevent his rival from winning.
On the first start, the Dutchman failed to surprise the Mercedes. It’s only after the accident of Mick Schumacher and the intervention of the red flag, which interested him could have had his chance. Firstly, the safety car was out. The Mercedes took the opportunity to stop at the pits, while Max Verstappen stayed out to take the lead. The damage caused by the Haas at the edge of the track being too important, the marshals decided to stop the race, with a red flag.
At the second departure, Lewis Hamilton once again takes the best flight facing Max Verstappen. But the Red Bull driver wants to keep his lead. It delays its braking and cuts the first corner. The Briton is unsettled by the Dutchman’s maneuver and sees Esteban Ocon take the opportunity to interfere between the two protagonists.
WHAT A 2ND START 🚥

In the end, the 2nd start was a disaster for the peloton. Sergio Pérez gets packed all over the place. In particular with Charles Leclerc, who powerless, cannot avoid the collision with the mexican and sending in the wall. The incident provokes a general mea-culpa. The drivers, behind, cannot brake in time and avoid the cars lying just ahead. Nikita Mazepin does not brake early enough and hits the back of a Williams hard. A new red flag is deployed, the race is once again interrupted.
The atmosphere is unbreathable in Jeddah. In the pits, Lewis Hamilton fumed after the action of Max Verstappen. The two counterparts keep reporting to each other against the FIA. But the race quickly regains the upper hand, with the third start of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. This time, it is the former championship leader who takes the best of Esteban Ocon and the Mercedes driver. Corn Max Verstappen’s maneuver surprises the pilot at number 44, which damaged his aileron on the Alpine.
AND IT’S (RE) GET AWAY! 🚥

Most Lewis Hamilton do not stop there. The Briton is as determined as Max Verstappen to win this world championship. He passed Esteban Ocon in the space of 2 laps, before falling again on Red Bull. It is an intense fight which is waged again between the two men. The gap between the cars varies, but the positions do not change. Up to a unique opportunity from the native of Stevenage, which is up to its rival. But once again, the latter performs a dubious maneuver after having delayed braking to the maximum. He therefore tries to give way to Lewis Hamilton on the track, but the two men do not understand each other …
OH THE SNAP BETWEEN LEWIS AND MAX! 💥
But what is this end of GP? 😭#SaudiArabianGP 🇸🇦 # F1
