The Red Bull star has pulled away from teammate Sergio Perez who, despite a strong start, has suffered 16th, 4th and 6th place finishes in his last three outings, while Verstappen claimed maximum points in each.
Perez's dip in form has opened the door for Fernando Alonso to maintain his impressive, consistent form, while Mercedes duo Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have shown plenty of positive intent lately, despite the latter's retirement in Canada.
Fans will be keen to see how the teams get on this week, with a sprint race and new Shootout format to soak up on Saturday.
