Max Verstappen ready for a "battle" with Lewis Hamilton
Max Verstappen is one of the most talented drivers on the grid and Lewis Hamilton is currently the most successful. The two have raced wheel to wheel a few times but Verstappen is wanting to race the five-time world champion more and prove that he is the faster driver of the two.
"To be honest, I'm still waiting for the real battle against Lewis," Verstappen told F1 Racing. "Of course, I've been driving with Lewis for a few years now. But I never really felt like the whole season I was fighting against him, so it's a bit difficult to judge that at the moment.
"He was in a championship fight and then we had [only] a few good races.
"Sometimes it's easier to overtake him because he has to think about the championship.
"Hopefully this year we will be more in that fight throughout the whole season, every weekend, then we can compare each other."
It would be interesting to see the two race alongside each other as many believe that Verstappen has matured as a driver since last season at that he might now have the temperament to keep a cool head and race clean.
