Max Verstappen no longer confident of winning

The words of Max Verstappen

It could only be Max Verstappen the big star of the drivers’ press conference of the 2024 Dutch Grand Prix. The world champion, a home idol in Zandvoort, answered plenty of questions: ""Nice vacation with family and friends, but too short".

"The home Grand Prix makes me happy and I look forward to the race with optimism. It looks like there may be rain, and that’s goodì. Now there are moreù teams in the fight and I don’t come here saying I’m going to win. I want a clean weekend, we analyzed a lot of things during the break and we will see how it will go,"” explained the reigning world champion.

“If he doesn’t win; here we will turn the page and move on. Last year was different, but we are trying to improve and find a better balance starting with this race. Norris è very close, but there are so many cars close. Hard to say who might be the main rival", he added.

For Verstappen it will be Gp number 200: "I don’t see myself on track to do another 200, so  more than half; half; career è already gone. The first race won è was a dream, special. Soè as was the first world title. È it was all incredible and I will think back on it even when my career is over. 2028 è is a long way away and in my mind I am not thinking about a new contract. I want to see how things go and what the new regulations will be like. There’è time to decide".
