Lewis Hamilton is aware of the threat that Max Verstappen could pose during the second half of the season. The Red Bull driver is slowly building momentum and is gaining on the two Mercedes drivers in terms of championship points.  

"Max is making up ground and is also getting closer in terms of points," Hamilton said to Motorsport.com. 

"They have certain circuits where they always perform well, but perhaps they can keep their good shape this year for the entire season. At the end of last year, we were also about as strong. So I see them as a threat to the rest of this season."

It will be interesting to see who comes out on top at this weekends Belgian Grand Prix. The circuit should suit Mercedes more due to the high-speed element but in Formula 1 who knows what can happen!
