Nico Rosberg says he knows where Max Verstappen can win pole position on his home circuit Zandvoort. Especially in the Hugenholtz corner Verstappen would gain a lot of time.

Verstappen the favourite

According to Rosberg, Verstappen will be unstoppable this weekend: "He [Verstappen] is flying out there, so if everything goes normal it's going be difficult to beat him in qualifying today," Rosberg told Sky Sports F1.

"Max is just so much more aggressive [at Turn 3] and goes so much deeper into the corner, carrying more speed into the corner, and [he] still finds that grip mid-corner to then turn and get a similar exit [to his rivals]," the 2016 world champion continued.

Hamilton not yet ready for aggressive line

According to Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton is still a bit calmer in the third corner. He should still build towards Verstappen's speed, as he lost a lot of time on Friday. By the way, Rosberg expects that it could get "really messy" because Zandvoort is only a short circuit.
