Max Verstappen refuses to join in with hype for Lewis Hamilton ahead of French Grand Prix

Max Verstappen brushed aside the suggestion that Lewis Hamilton might be a threat at the French Grand Prix as he chose instead to focus upon his own team.

The Dutchman hopes to get back to winning ways this weekend, after being upstaged last time out by Charles Leclerc. Ferrari were the dominant force at the Red Bull Ring, and would most likely have secured a one-two finish had Carlos Sainz not suffered an engine failure.

Throughout the season the Ferrari drivers have been the only real threat to Red Bull, but that might change in the second half of the campaign. Mercedes have been making strides in terms of performance, and have shown impressive reliability all year.
