Verstappen reluctant to rate his F1 season

Max Verstappen is in the form of his life but the 21-year-old Red Bull driver was reluctant to give himself a season's rating after a Hungarian Grand Prix weekend in which he started first and finished second.

Sunday's race at the Hungaroring was the last before the August break and the top three finishers were asked to rate their first-half performance out of 10.

Mercedes' five-time world champion and Sunday's race winner Lewis Hamilton, who now has a haul of eight wins in 12 races with nine rounds remaining, suggested he might give himself an 8.
