“Austin’s one of Lewis’ strongest circuits. We know he’s very, very quick around there.
“We’re fighting at it and not giving up anything. To be at this stage of the championship, leading the driver’s and still in touch in the constructors’, that’s phenomenal.
“For us, we’re loving this fight, enjoying this scrap. There’s some tracks going up where it could go either way.”
Verstappen leads the way by six points heading to the Circuit of the Americas with qualifying at 10pm on Saturday and the race getting underway at 8pm on Sunday.
