Since the Dutch venue returned to the Formula One calendar in 2021, Red Bull's Max Verstappen won three times on the home track in Zandvoort, earning a second. But can he continue running this weekend?
The dominant world champion won two Grand Prixes this year, but these outstanding driving forces were very much in line with the form book, with McLaren stretching his legs this year and becoming a class leader.
Verstappen, who scored 97 points in the match with champion leader Oscar Piastri (nearly 4 Grand Prix wins), knew that adding his win to Zandvoort's win and the chance to win 5 titles in the bounce would be a challenge.
