“The sport is under a lot of pressure to succeed, but I think it’s about understanding that there is a lot of rivalry there.

“But staying respectful and respectful is the main word because I think if the emotions go up it’s fine because it’s in the heat of the moment, it’s competition, but just be respectful.”

Hamilton leads Verstappen into the summer break with an eight point lead, and racing will resume in Belgium at the end of August.
