“I think Hamilton supported Mercedes a little in the first two races,” Webber told Marca. “The car isn’t easy, far from it, but Lewis has the results and is even leading the world championship.
“But he has a tough rival in Verstappen. We’re all fans of Max’s style. Watching his races is incredibly spectacular, that’s exactly what we ask of an F1 driver.
“They are two gladiators and that is what this sport needs, an intense rivalry … and there will be a climax where there will be fireworks between the two, I am convinced of that.
“Right now they get along well and have a lot of respect for each other, but during the season? Hamilton is a 12-round boxer, he will always be on the lookout and you have to be ready to fight him.”
