Verstappen is not the only junior driver that Hamilton took time out to lay out the superlatives, as he is in awe of Billy Monger's recovery attempts after his tragic accident which cost him part of his leg.

Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz has insisted that he is fully concentrated on Renault and only Renault in the 2018 season, despite being on loan at the French manufacturer from Red Bull where he is a graduated member of their young driver program.
