You really have to be cut-throat. That's what Max is. He's going to take this from them if they don't do the same. They've got to be pushing and you've got to dig deep to, firstly, be able to hold off someone like Max and in the car that he's in at the moment. But, also, for either of them to come out ahead, consistency is key and you've seen that from Max in the last few races.

It has been tough for him to get motivated fully this year because he knows he is leaving the team. I felt like as soon as he had that competitive car, and there was a chance of winning, you could see that he really stepped up. Then there were some races where the car was difficult and he was like ‘whatever’. I don’t think he will ever lose it. He has achieved so much. It is a new challenge for him next year. He will be very, very motivated to show he is a seven-time world champion. But it will depend on the material he has got.
