WATCH: Verstappen onboard footage from Hamilton battle released

Max Verstappen's onboard footage from his battle with Lewis Hamilton has been released two days after the conclusion of the São Paulo Grand Prix.

Hamilton was attacking Verstappen around the outside at turn four on lap 48 of the race at Interlagos, with the Dutchman running wide and forcing both off-track.

The FIA race stewards opted not to investigate the incident much to the ire of Mercedes, with the onboard from the Red Bull not available at the time.

Race director Michael Masi suggested after the race that the footage would be the "smoking gun" after Verstappen went unpunished.

Watch the incident below, listen to the GPFans Stewards' Room podcast and let us know your thoughts on the incident.
