Max Verstappen is keeping his British Grand Prix sprint victory aspirations in check and expects to be drawn into a battle with the cars behind him, as he considers front-row starters Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Antonelli to be a "bit quick" to challenge.
Verstappen put his car third on the grid for Saturday's sprint race, lodging himself in the fight between the Mercedes and the Ferraris, albeit three tenths down on Hamilton and Antonelli at the close of the SQ3 runs.
