Verstappen looked in the ascendency after winning both the U.S. and Mexico Grand Prix in back to back weeks.
But Hamilton has since put in inspiring performances in both Brazil and Qatar to close the gap on his Dutch rival before wins at Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
The Brit, 36, moved level with Michael Schumacher on seven world titles last year and will become the greatest driver ever if he collects the most points across this season’s races.
