Verstappen's Dutch GP fate is revealed as Stewards reach verdict!

Updated: 08:07, 31 Aug 2025

A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.

Max Verstappen was able to put in a superb qualifying lap that brought him 0.248s from polesitter Oscar Piastri, and which was good enough for P3. Nevertheless the Dutchman was not out of the woods, given a Stewards investigation into the Dutchman’s on-track behaviour.

According to the Stewards, the Dutchman was driving unnecessarily slow around Circuit Zandvoort during the ongoing Saturday afternoon qualifying session that saw him pip P3 standings rival George Russell with a sterling last-lap effort.
