MAX VERSTAPPEN is staying tight-lipped about his chances of taking Lewis Hamilton’s world crown – and he’s not the only one. Verstappen said: “Mercedes had the dominant car towards the end of the season so we know we have to keep improving. “We know where we want to be, and where we want to get to and that is what we have to now try to realise. “I want to stay low-key and we should do the talking on the track, not next to the track. We want to make it more difficult for Mercedes because they must be the favourites.”.
