F1 title showdown like Squid Games, says Christian Horner

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Red Bull boss Christian Horner likened Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton's tense title battle to hit Netflix series Squid Games.

Verstappen and Hamilton are level on points ahead of the deciding Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this weekend. Red Bull also trails Mercedes by 22 points in the constructors' championship.

Horner said the title decider felt like the popular show, which features two contestants fighting to the death in the final episode to win.

"There is as feeling of excitement, it has been tense, frustrating on occasions, we have pushed the limited, pushed each other and pushed our competitors and here we are at the final race for the showdown," Horner said of the showdown.
