Verstappen was testing new year’s Red Bull, with drastically wider tyres than in previous seasons

FIA race director Michael Masi has come under fire for seemingly ignoring the rules to create a single lap showdown in the winner-takes-all-contest.

Hamilton was on old tyres as Verstappen screamed past following a safety car period where Masi allowed five cars to get out of the way.

Verstappen and Red Bull partied into the early hours of the next morning, but on Tuesday it was back to work.

The 24-year-old was back out on the track for post-season testing.
