Hamilton storms in front at the start of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

Verstappen believed Hamilton should give back his spot, while the seven-time World Champion argues his World Championship rival pushed him off the track. Michael Masi has been taken to task, but has decided that no further investigation is necessary. Race control did say that Hamilton had to give back his advantage, his extra lead.

Verstappen was not happy with the decision: "This is unbelievable, what are they doing?"
