Lewis says his close title battle with Verstappen is not the hardest he has ever fought, because in his career “there have been so many difficult moments”.
Anthony Hamilton says Lewis and Max are “like boxers going into the ring“, but once the season is over “there will be huge hugs and laughter and kisses”.
Former Dutch F1 driver Christijan Albers says Max Verstappen was lucky that Mercedes’ car “is so nervous when it has turbulence and dirty air from another car”.
