Max Verstappen: F1 stewards treat me unfairly

ABU DHABI -- Max Verstappen believes the FIA treated him unfairly at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after he was penalised twice by the race stewards at last weekend's race.

Verstappen will win his first world title at this weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix if he finishes the race ahead of championship rival Lewis Hamilton or both drivers fail to score points.

The championship fight is highly charged ahead of the season finale after the two drivers twice went wheel-to-wheel at Turn 1 in Saudi Arabia, with Verstappen twice retaining position ahead of Hamilton by cutting the corner at Turn 2.
