Somehow I would still lean towards Lewis,” Nico Rosberg told Sky Sports. “Through experience and because he normally always wins it in the end! It’s so difficult to beat him. Somehow I think he can still do it.” 

Whatever the end result may be, Rosberg has been enjoying watching the fight unfold and is impressed by how closely matched Hamilton and Verstappen are.

“The cars are exactly the same, the drivers are on the same level and they are in a league of their own,” the German said. “Nobody can keep up with them. It’s going to be so close now in the last races. So much is going to happen.” 

Having said that, as things stand in 2021, Verstappen is leading Hamilton in the standings with a further five races to go, whilst Mercedes are ahead of arch rivals Red Bull by 23 points in the Constructors Standings.
