All eyes are on the championship for Lewis

As the Knight prepares for the US Grand Prix this weekend in Austin, he would keep an eye on the title race between him and arch-rival, Max Verstappen.

As it stands, it is the Dutch driver who leads the championship, having a 6-point lead over the Mercedes driver. However, Hamilton is known for his persistence and is aiming to push the Red Bull prodigy to the limit as they zip around the track this coming Sunday.
