Lewis Hamilton's words of praise for Verstappen

After a difficult weekend at the Qatar Grand Prix, Ferrari's British driver Lewis Hamilton finished Sunday's race without a point.

When asked about the championship battle after the race, Hamilton praised Verstappen's performance this season, despite their 2021 rivalry.

"We all know Max has done a great job. He's got an incredible team behind him, they've had the best car for the last four years, there's no denying that. At the beginning of this year maybe they were a little bit weaker, but somehow they came back. Max has a great car, but he does an excellent job with it."
