With Ferrari slipping behind Red Bull in the Formula 1 title race at the halfway mark, championship leader and pace setter Lewis Hamilton is wary of the threat from Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen in the second half of the season.
Hamilton said, "They've got a very, very strong team. I think Red Bull have definitely picked up with their engine performance but also they've got great downforce."
"I don't know why they closed up a little bit more than others but they're definitely looking incredibly strong."
"Ferrari looked strong at one point during the [German Grand Prix] weekend and then they seemed to fade off more so in the race, so Red Bull is definitely our closest competitor."
According to the reigning world champion, the key has been the Red Bull driver pairing.
"Daniel is performing really well and so is Max, and it's not just because of them it's because they've got a great team, just like [me] it is not just because of me, it's because of this great team."
