Hamilton hunts Verstappen: "I would say we are all hunters"

It's been a while since there was not a Mercedes driver on top of the championship, but thanks to his win in Monaco, Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing are now the leaders in both championships. Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes should be on the hunt.

Hamilton the hunter

Lewis Hamilton has already won three races this season and Max Verstappen has won two. However, Hamilton's seventh-place finish in Monaco means he is already just four points behind. It has been a while since Hamilton has faced a gap, but the reigning world champion will not be put off.

In Baku Hamilton has only one goal and that is to resume the attack on the title. That he is now not the prey but the hunter makes no difference to him. "In reality, we are hunters all year round," he told La Gazetta Dello Sport. "There are no differences, for a whole season we go for the same result in the championship - the victory. I would say we are all hunters, even those at the front."
