Lewis Hamilton Could Be Handed Last Season’s F1 Title As Max Verstappen’s Red Bull Accused of Cheating

• Red Bull and Formula 1 defending champion Max Verstappen have been caught in a cheating scandal that could see the latter lose last season's title
• It is alleged that Red Bull surpassed the set amount of money a team is supposed to use
• If found guilty, Verstappen could be dethroned off his title and Lewis Hamilton handed the world title for last season

An interesting twist in Formula 1 could see Max Verstappen dethroned last season's championship.

Red Bull are currently under investigation after reports emerged that they exceeded the spending cap last season.

Verstappen won his first championship on the final day of the season in a dramatic race at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Daily Mail reports that if Red Bull are found guilty of going past the spending cap, her drivers would be docked points and thus, the pendulum will swing back to Lewis Hamilton's favour.

A team is not supposed to go beyond 114 million euros in spending.

The season ended with just 8 points separating the two in one of the closely-contested championships in recent times.

Red Bull's team principal, Christian Horner, has refuted any possibilities of wrongdoing. Red Bull had hoped to celebrate a second successive championship for Verstappen at the Singapore Prix on Sunday but will now have to wait. Mercedes' Toto Wolff, meanwhile, wants the FIA President Mohammed ben Sulayem and his team to enforce its rules.

Verstappen could win another title if he wins on Sunday and a host of other results involving Charles Leclerc go his way.
