The "next generation" of Formula 1 drivers: Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris have all performed brilliantly this season, and Red Bull team boss Christian Horner believes the displays from the trio of youngsters is "great for F1".
Especially in the last two races, in Austria and Great Britain; Leclerc and Hamilton have been involved in some truly gripping one-on-one battles. Norris has also been very impressive, but obviously further down the grid.
Horner believes the younger generation are performing so well and it's great for Formula 1.
"It's great for F1," the Red Bull boss said to BBC Sport. "You can never stop time and it's clear to see some great talent emerging in Formula 1 at the moment - with Max having established himself, Leclerc is doing a great job.
"Lando Norris has done a good job in a McLaren this year. I'm sure George Russell is right there but the equipment (at Williams) doesn't allow him to show that.

"F1 can be excited about the potential of those guys. But it's also great to see the young guns go up against the established guys as well - the Hamiltons and the Vettels.
"We have a great period in time where you just hope equipment allows those guys to race hard and competitively with each other."
