13-time grand prix winner David Coulthard spoke exclusively to RacingNews365.
David Coulthard cautioned Max Verstappen that winning the last three races at Zandvoort doesn’t automatically make him the favorite for the Dutch Grand Prix. Verstappen, with three consecutive wins at Zandvoort since the GP’s return in 2021, aims to expand his championship lead beyond the current 78 points following the summer break. However, Red Bull’s lack of victories since the Spanish Grand Prix in June has brought them closer to their competitors, making upgrades crucial according to Coulthard. Verstappen’s aggressive driving style at the demanding Dutch track, combined with fierce competition from drivers like Lewis Hamilton and McLaren’s young talents, amplifies the challenge. Despite being recognized as one of F1’s greatest drivers, Coulthard stressed that past achievements don’t guarantee future success, emphasizing the competitiveness of the sport and the excitement surrounding the upcoming Dutch Grand Prix.
