Lewis Hamilton and the crowd at Zandvoort

F1 journalist Lawrence Barretto aptly labeled the Dutch GP the ‘Max Verstappen show.’ The manic of Hamilton fans at Silverstone is being mirrored at Zandvoort by the Orange Army. Unlike Silverstone, the circuit won’t be at full capacity, but the roars of 70,000 fans will not be easy to ignore. There are fans arriving at water parks and hotels nearby without tickets to the race; just to bask in the exciting atmosphere surrounding Zandvoort.

Max Verstappen‘s increasing fan base has been treating the driver like the hero they never had. With Verstappen on a high pedestal, and the reopening of the circuit after 36 years, the Dutch fans are going to be hyped up.

However, both rivals would look to prevent each other from victory. Verstappen would want to take the win, regaining his position at the top and winning for the Dutch fans. Hamilton, on the other hand, looks to bag his 100th win and keep Max from winning on home soil.

Surely, its going to be a battle worth tuning into, that’s for sure. Verstappen is confident in his team for a good time. “It can be really good, it can be not as good but I think so far, for this whole year, we have been competitive, sometimes fighting for the win, sometimes a podium and let’s hope we can do something similar here.”

All that’s left to do is wait. The race has the potential to tilt the championship battle either way. Additionally, there’s a lot of emotion involved, who will stand on top with the lead in hand?
