Verstappen gave his final thoughts before the Dutch Grand Prix in the driver's parade at his home race in Holland. Verstappen is enjoying the atmosphere in the stands and hopes for the best possible result, but foresees a tough race. The Dutchman starts in second place, with McLaren's Lando Norris starting the race from pole. 

Asked about the atmosphere at the track, a beaming Verstappen replied, "It's crazy to see all the fans. You can hear them well when you drive past during the race and they were already loud during the practice sessions as well. That really puts a big smile on my face."

Verstappen expects a 'difficult' race

Nevertheless, he expects a tougher race than in the past three years, where he triumphed comfortably each time. "It is very special to come back here every year. I actually never expected to return here for a Grand Prix. This year, it will most probably be a bit harder to win, but I will give everything."

Finally, F1 TV reporter Will Buxton asks Verstappen one more time if he will win the Grand Prix: "It will be difficult, but we will do our best," Verstappen concludes.
