Last time out at the Zandvoort Circuit in 2021, Verstappen stormed to victory with a rather spectacular performance. He will be hoping to repeat the same feat this year too as he leads the championship standings by a huge gap.
However, one important concern for everyone in the F1 community is the weather forecast. Most of the races of the current season have seen cloudy and rainy weather.
So it remains to be seen how the weather will turn out to be at the Zandvoort circuit this weekend.
