There's cheers and raw joy in the Red Bull garage. Brilliant scenes.
In the Mercedes, there's silence and disbelief.
One of the best Formula 1 seasons has just had one of the most incredible, controversial title deciders.

Unbelievable driving from Perez and Hamilton here, and Perez remains in the lead. Hamilton gets past Perez now into turn 6, but that has cost him - Verstappen is right behind, and understandably, Perez now lets his team mate through...

A legend waves goodbye

Formula 1 Double-Standards!! Where money rules....
BS statement on top by officials!
No further action on Hamilton for the alleged double waved yellows - "on-board video clearly shows there was no yellow flag displayed, no yellow lights were displayed to that driver and the yellow warning light was not visible on the driver’s steering wheel."
Just imagine a "less famous" driver would have done that!

It's back-to-back wins for Hamilton to keep his title hopes alive.
After a five-place grid-drop wrecked any chance of a Verstappen victory, it was all about damage limitation for him and he finishes second.
He also gets the fastest lap bonus point, so Verstappen leads the title race by eight points with two races to go.
