Dutch fans get stark 'news' ahead of Verstappen's home race

Without a doubt, the fans are hoping for a win from Max Verstappen, but according to Coronel, this won't happen, he told RaceXpress. "You have to be realistic. I think P3 is the maximum achievable. In that case, we're in for a good party on Sunday," said the driver and analyst.

In Coronel's opinion, the McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are too strong, and these two drivers will decide who takes the Dutch Grand Prix title - as they've often done this season.

If the McLarens don't finish, Verstappen might have a chance to win at some point this season, Coronel believes. Although Verstappen himself indicated that he is not likely to win another race under normal circumstances, the analyst is slightly more optimistic.

"Then he can stay in front, because the rest are driving in dirty air. These are, I think, his chances. But not because he's faster in combination with the car," says Coronel.
