Lewis Hamilton after Max Verstappen collision: He doesn't think rules apply to him

Lewis Hamilton has said title-rival Max Verstappen drives "over the limit" and does not believe the rules apply to him, following a collision and another near-miss at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

Hamilton and Verstappen go into the final race level on points, making the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix a winner-takes-all event.

To get to that tie Hamilton won the Saudi Arabian GP with the fastest lap bonus point, with Verstappen second. But there was controversy throughout the race, especially when the pair collided on lap 38.

After forcing Hamilton off track defending the lead a few moments earlier, Verstappen slowed on the advice of Red Bull to let his rival by.
