Lewis Hamilton has warned McLaren's title contenders Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris about Max Verstappen's "cut-throat" character as the three head into the final five races of the season.
Piastri leads the championship by 14 points from Norris, while Verstappen is 40 points off the lead after three wins and a second place in the past four races.
Hamilton, who fought an intense and bitter championship battle with Verstappen in 2021, said: "In that scenario it's challenging, the pressure is high. It is a time when you have to put your blinkers up and block everything from the outside.
"You have to be cut-throat and that is what Max is, he is going to take this from them if they don't do the same.
