"No matter when, it's always between those two."

The title battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton seems to be rising above the battle between Mercedes and Red Bull Racing. Even without major changes or upgrades to the car, the proportions between the two could suddenly change. The fact remains that there will always be two of them on top.

F1 journalist Mark Hughes is stunned after watching the fight between Verstappen and Hamilton at the United States Grand Prix. He sees that the fight between Verstappen and Hamilton transcends the equipment.

Hughes likes the fact that Verstappen seemed to fear Mercedes after the race in Turkey. Mercedes seemed bloody fast. Hughes: "But then we came here and we saw that’s absolutely not the case. It’s switched again, not for any reason, it’s not like one car’s put a development on which now makes that car faster.

Hughes concludes, "It’s just the specific demands of any particular circuit on a particular date change it because they’re so closely matched."
