There has been a lot of talk about Red Bull Racing's 'flexi-wings' over the last few days, and Toto Wolff, Christian Horner and to a lesser extent Helmut Marko have often engaged in off-track battles, which have been verbal so far. If it's up to Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton it will soon become a physical fight.

That is at least that is what the drivers currently P1 and P2 in the world championship joked about during the press conference after the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The war of words over the rear wing of the RB16B between Wolff and Horner haven't been heard much by Verstappen and Hamilton according to Motorsport-Magazin.

"We should put them in a ring!", Hamilton said, to which rival Verstappen replied:"That might just be a bit unfair in terms of weight classes".

Lewis Hamilton will have a shot at victory at the Baku City Circuit from second on Sunday afternoon. Max Verstappen will start from the second row of the grid in P3, with Pierre Gasly alongside him.
