Hamilton about Red Bull: "They're getting closer and closer in the races"

Lewis Hamilton is far from sure of his seventh world title, he says. According to the Brit, Red Bull Racing and Max Verstappen are getting closer and closer.

"I'm certainly going to keep an eye on them", said Hamilton at the FIA press conference according to Motorsport-Total.com. According to Hamilton, Verstappen would be a lot closer if he hadn't dropped out of the first race.

"They're getting closer and closer in the races", Hamilton continues. Verstappen has already passed Valtteri Bottas in the standings after a few disappointing races. Bottas himself says he used the break between Spanish Grand Prix and Belgian Grand Prix to recover so he can attack again.
