Max Verstappen can go one step further to secure his second Formula One world championship on the Zandvoort track in the Netherlands – that is, in front of his home crowd. The 24-year-old has a 93-point lead over teammate and closest challenger Sergio Perez in the standings. Compared to Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, Max has a 98-point lead.
The Dutchman comes with great momentum, as a week ago at the Belgian Grand Prix he climbed from 14th on the grid to win by more than 18 seconds.
If Verstappen climbs to the top of the podium in the Netherlands, it would mark his fourth in a row and 10th of the campaign overall, as he chases the record of 13 wins in a season, which has only been achieved by Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel.
The Grand Prix at Zandvoort returned to the F1 calendar for the first time since 1985. It is a narrow old-school circuit that provides a tough test for the drivers, due to the series of difficult corners and the incline.
“A lot more downforce is required at the Zandvoort track (than at Spa), so it will be harder for us to be dominant, I hope Ferrari will be strong there. Of course I want a good result, but it’s important to always score points. I’m just going to enjoy the weekend with all the fans, it’s going to be pretty crazy,” Verstappen said ahead of the 15th race of the season.
Verstappen needs four wins in the remaining eight races to seal victory in the World Championship.
