Verstappen lauded his rival Hamilton after the Mercedes driver secured a record breaking 92nd Grand Prix win in Portugal.
“Lewis is incredible, [and] it looks like, of course, he’s also going for his seventh world title, which is very impressive,” Verstappen said.
“Everybody knows he’s very quick but I think what has also been a very strong point is that he’s consistent and very rarely makes a mistake.
"And that’s why I think he got through these numbers so quickly and yeah, it’s just very impressive.”
Mercedes are still placed at the top of Constructors' standings followed by second-placed Red Bull and third-placed Racing Point.
