Lewis Hamilton won a dramatic inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix to draw level on points with Red Bull rival Max Verstappen and set up an enticing, winner-takes-all title showdown at the season finale in Abu Dhabi. 

The Dutchman, who leads the standings having won more races, kept his second-place finish despite stewards handing him two time penalties in an evening of crashes, controversy and yet another collision between the title rivals. Hamilton’s Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas was third.
