F1 World in Hysterics as 6ft 5 Kickboxing Legend Manhandles Max Verstappen in Front of Home Crowd “Like He’s His 4-Year-Old Son”

The man who has won the last two races after starting from the midfield will start from pole at the Dutch GP. The home GP of the Max Verstappen was in doubt after the gearbox issue in FP1. However, the Milton Keynes outfit pulled a rabbit out of the hat before the qualifying.

With limited data after a restricting outing on the track and Mercedes and Ferrari threatening, we could excuse Red Bull for being third best. However, the “it’s not over until it’s over” mentality is drilled into the ruthless Bulls, especially after the events of 2021. Verstappen, despite falling to P3 in Q2, picked up the pace in Q3 and started the qualifying by setting the standard.

Later, the closest rival, Leclerc took the provisional pole for the better part of qualifying. The Red Bull pilot left it late to reclaim the pole position and got the job done with his last flying lap. The provisional pole inspired a loud roar at Zandvoort.

Among the fans, there was another Dutch world champion. It was Dutch kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven. He picked up Verstappen as he presented the Pirelli pole position award to the fellow countryman.
