(Reuters) - Max Verstappen will be keen to put on a show for his army of orange-clad fans when he heads into Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix ready to strike back in his Formula One title battle with seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton.

The Red Bull driver saw a 33-point lead over his Mercedes rival turn into an eight-point deficit in just two races after a controversial race-ending collision with Hamilton at Silverstone and a ninth-place finish due to an unfortunate first-corner tangle in Hungary sapped his title charge of momentum.
