Max Verstappen left eight points ahead of the Mercedes driver after a crash on the opening lap meant he retired for only the second time this season. To add to the misery, during the Hungarian Grand Prix, Valtteri Bottas error at Turn 1 caused damage to the side of Verstappen’s RB16. Eventually the Dutch had to settle for P10. Losing his lead to Hamilton, who secured a podium.

“I’m sure we can make it an exciting battle,” the 23-year-old told De Telegraaf“We still have a good chance of winning and should not suddenly give up. I see it this way: I can still go faster than anyone in a car. There is also something in it. I am absolutely sure that I am faster than Lewis. 

“For me it works very well to think like that. If I didn’t think so, I’d be better off staying at home.”
