After the Eifel Grand Prix win, Hamilton was heard on the radio talking about Red Bull closing in the gap. When asked for a comment on this, Max Verstappen embraced his humorous side in an interview ahead of the Portuguese Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen said, “We could swap cars, I’ll show you how far we are”. Even though Max got the fastest lap in Nurburgring, he believes Red Bull is not close to Mercedes. He explained, “It is something, but we are not close enough”.
