Lewis Hamilton admitted it is "natural" that he and Max Verstappen will have some fierce on-track fights.
The two Formula 1 champions fought tooth and nail in a blockbuster battle for the title last season, which ended with the Dutchman winning in controversial circumstances. There were several flashpoints during that rivalry last year, including collisions at Silverstone, Monza and in Saudi Arabia.
Verstappen has again been the man to beat in F1 this season, though Hamilton has not been involved in this title battle. Nevertheless, especially in the last few races as Mercedes have improved their car, there have still been some feisty moments between them.
