If Hamilton & Verstappen end level on points, the title goes to the driver with the most wins. Right now, if I've tallied correctly, Verstappen has 9 and Hamilton has 8. If that's tied, they go to number of 2nd places (and so on). Verstappen has that too, 8 to 7.
So clearly the correct strategy for Verstappen is to crash into Hamilton in the last race of the season.
