The spectators at the Dutch Grand Prix could enjoy a battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton on Saturday afternoon. That battle will continue on sunday afternoon during the race, but what time does it start?

Verstappen did some excellent business during qualifying in his home country for Sunday's race. In the first two free practices he was not able to set the fastest time, but in the third free practice and qualifying he did. Hamilton tried to improve on Verstappen's time in the final stages of qualifying, but was unable to do so.

As a result Hamilton will have a hard time passing Verstappen in the race. The Zandvoort circuit is known to be difficult to overtake, so Mercedes wants to make the difference based on strategy. It promises to be a very exciting race on the track that Formula 1 hasn't used for 36 years.

Dutch GP starts at 14:00

The race will start at 14:00. The past two days made it clear that one or more red flags are not excluded in the Netherlands.
